TI  - Otolaryngologic cases of Munchausen's syndrome.
PG  - 201-3
AB  - Munchausen syndrome (MS) is now a well recognized and demonstrated entity. This 
      syndrome is characterized by patients who seek hospitalization and present 
      factitious but usually well-rehearsed histories and symptoms. Five cases of MS, 
      genuine by their ear-nose-throat-maxillofacial factitious signs, are presented. 
      Two of the cases are related to the uncommon MS by proxy. In this subentity the 
      parents fabricate pathological signs for their children. The psychodynamics and 
      the clinical symptoms of our cases are described and the differential diagnoses 
      of malingering, conversion disorders, and hypochondriasis are brought to 
      attention.
