Abstract

Two cases of chronic monosymptomatic psychogenic eye pain with abnormal illness behaviour are presented. Both failed to respond to a wide variety of treatments, and despite the accepted low suicidal risk in hypochondriasis both killed themselves. The origin, prognosis and therapy of such behaviour are discussed in this context.
