| Popis: | Nineteen review articles and case reports were identified and reviewed through August 1996 in Index Medicus, MEDLINE (English and foreign language), conference abstracts, and bibliographies from major articles, textbooks and reviews, to review Munchausen's syndrome in obstetrics and gynecology. In these 19 articles, 30 reported cases of the syndrome were identified in obstetric and gynecological patients. This survey found that the presentation varied, diagnosis was difficult, treatment was unclear, and the economic burden was enormous. Increasingly, this syndrome is becoming an important clinical entity in the specialty, and requires a high index of suspicion to improve detection and optimize treatment. |
