Abstract
Munchausen by Proxy sendromu (MPS) hastalık semptomlarının ebeveyn tarafından oluşturulduğu bir istismar tipidir. Hastalığın dirençli olması, kliniğin net olmaması gibi nedenlerden dolayı çoğu kez gözden kaçabilmektedir. Çocuklarda nadir görülen bir hastalık olmasına rağmen ciddi sağlık sorunlarına neden olabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Bir yaş bir aylık erkek hasta, ishal ve kusma şikayeti ile acil servisimize başvurdu. Yapılan tetkiklerin normal olması ve yatışı sırasında şikayetleri olmayan hastanın daha önce de değişik şikayetlerle birçok kez yatış öyküsünün bulunması nedeniyle, hastada MPS düşünülerek hasta takibe alındı. Hastanın daha sonra gaitada kan görülmesi şikayeti ile yatışı yapıldı. Annenin çocuğun makatında termometreyle kanama oluşturmaya çalışmasının gözlenmesi üzerine hastaya MPS tanısı konularak sosyal hizmetlere bildirildi ve anne, değerlendirilmek üzere psikiyatriye yönlendirildi. Tekrarlayan hastaneye yatışlarda, etiyolojik bir nedenin bulunmadığı yakınmalar varlığında özellikle bu sendrom düşünülmeli ve ayırıcı tanıda göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu çocuklar failleri tarafından birçok kez hastaneye getirilerek istismar edildikleri için hastane personelinin bu tanıyı düşünmeleri açısından dikkatli olmaları gerekmektedir.

Then, the patient admitted to hospital with complaints of blood in stool. The determination of the mother to create of the child anus bleeding with thermometer, have been diagnosed with MPS, reported to social services and parents was referred for psychiatric assessment.
