Abstract:
A factitious disorder is one that has been fabricated or simulated by the patient. Münchausen syndrome is a subtype of factitious disorder. This syndrome has not previously been described in relationship to chronic pain/chronic pain treatment units. Such a patient is presented, and the clues to the identification of this syndrome within chronic pain patients are presented.
