title: [Munchausen syndrome. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The study of a case of Munchausen's syndrome allows for considerations of problems involved in factitious illness, both in terms of clinical methods and evaluation of psychosocial conditions. The case described is interesting not only because of the diagnostic commitment involved but also for the role which environmental situations may have in aiding or conditioning such a form of factitious illness.
