Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Pediatric Health
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Factitious disorder imposed on another, commonly known as Munchausen by proxy, is a rare form of child abuse.
  • This disorder involves a caregiver fabricating or inducing illness in a child under their care.
  • It presents significant diagnostic and management challenges for healthcare professionals.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 12-year-old boy is presented.
  • The boy's mother engaged in severe manipulations, leading to his unnecessary wheelchair immobilization.
  • The mother also orchestrated the implantation of a pacemaker in the child.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the extreme manifestations of Munchausen by proxy.
  • Diagnostic difficulties arise due to the deceptive nature of the disorder.

  • Effective clinical management requires a multidisciplinary approach.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness and recognition of Munchausen by proxy are crucial for early intervention.
    • Healthcare providers must be vigilant for signs of fabricated or induced illness in children.
    • Protecting child welfare necessitates robust diagnostic protocols and collaborative care strategies.
