title: SIDS, seizures or 'sophageal reflux? Another manifestation of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
abstract: A four-month-old boy with pseudo-seizures was extensively investigated for fits and gastro-oesophageal reflux and subsequently treated for presumed epilepsy. It was finally established that his mother was inducing the "seizures" by asphyxiation and subsequent interviews established that information concerning the parents had been falsified.
