Epilepsi Ayırıcı Tanısında Munchausen By Proxy Sendromu (Bir Başkasına Yüklenen Yapay Bozukluk)
Anahtar Kelimeler
Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome is a special form of child abuse in which the caregivers (mother, father, caregiver, etc.) create a history and/or symptoms of the disease in the child with symptoms that are unexplained, persistent, recurrent and incompatible with the clinical findings of the child. Symptoms may include bleeding, seizures, convulsions, apnea, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, rash. Neurological symptoms such as seizures and convulsions are also frequently observed. Making a differential diagnosis of epilepsy in MbBP syndrome helps to stop child abuse as well as to prevent unnecessary medication, loss of time in treatment and unnecessary costs in the healthcare system. In this chapter, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of childhood epilepsy, will be discussed.
