Popis: The term "Munchausen by proxy" denotes a special form of factitious disorder and a rare kind of child abuse. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy, whose mother's manipulations culminated in his immobilization in a wheelchair and the implantation of a pacemaker. Problems of diagnosis and clinical management of Munchausen by proxy are discussed.
