Abstract:
We present a detailed case report that shows a woman patient who has Factitious Disorder manifested by the coexistence both of: A) typical/direct Munchausen and B) Munchausen by proxy or indirect: being the frst one (A) about the own person and the second one (B) about other people (most cases about their own young children). Furthermore, in the reported case we observed that the patient shown the particularity of having positive biological markers for Myasthenia Gravis (serology markers), and having inconsistent clinical manifestations that are typically observed in the exacerbation phase when she still continued in remission phase. In our own bibliographic research we couldn`t fnd anything about this case of "Mixed Munchausen Syndrome with organic comorbidity". In the same way as we tried to get information about the diagnostic algorithms and the possible therapeutic treatment strategies we found nothing like this reported before. Finally, this clinical presentation constitutes a blind spot for the scientifc community generating a lack of recognition for this diagnostic category and above all of the confusion that this mental disorder can generate in: a) the inadequate use of therapeutic resources, b) the irrational use of drugs, c) the distortion of institutional instances, and d) the medical behaviors that occurred in this case.
