Resumen
El Síndrome de Münchausen es una entidad psiquiátrica relativamente rara en la cual el paciente se provoca a sí mismo, o a las personas, a su cargo múltiples sintomatologías de manera deliberada, pudiendo resultar incluso en amputaciones o muerte. Lo hace de una forma consciente pero sin ningún tipo de ganancia primaria presente, sólo por el “placer” de sentirse atendido por el personal asistencial. Es una patología que plantea todo un reto para el clínico, puesto que no posee un cuadro sindrómico típico.
