Abstract:
We present the case of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy (MSBP) in which the mother spat and placed blood in her child's ear, and videoed the result, in order to gain the attentions of the medical profession. This is the first case report of this kind and may represent a disturbing trend in the use of digital photography and video to support factitious illnesses.
