- Abstract
Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP) is an extremely complicated diagnosis because of the difficulty in finding the incriminating evidence of its existence and because of the ethical issue it raises for caregivers. Its implications from a medical, psychological and legal point of view raise difficult questions for any professional confronted to it. We present a case of 8 month female infant who was diagnosed to have Hyperinsulinism causing hypoglycemic brain injury and later developing intractable convulsion with head drops, where EEG was suggestive of West Syndrome, was actually a case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy to start with.
