TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - ["Munchausen syndrome" with variable, largely neurologic symptoms] JO - Psychiatrie, Neurologie, und Medizinische Psychologie A1 - Klein, M. SP - 686 EP - 692 VL - 42 IS - 11 N2 - The paper gives an account of a man, now 32 years old, who has exhibited the typical characteristics of a "Münchhausen Syndrome", increasing in intensity, since later childhood. The increasingly neurological-neurosurgical range of his predominantly simulated and manipulated complaints covers in the main seizures, attempted suicide, craniocerebral injuries, hemiplegia, and paraplegia. The patient has had four operations for a "Cauda Syndrome". The complex conditioning the complaint, and appropriate medical reaction, are discussed with critical reference to previous literature on the subject.
