Munchausen syndrome via proxy is the creation of disease by one person for the benefit of another. Renal and urologic manifestations of Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome are not as uncommon as one might think; a survey of all Munchausen-by-proxy cases revealed that 25% of the children had renal or urologic problems. This syndrome can present clinicians with a difficult diagnostic conundrum; yet, understanding this entity can aid in early detection of falsification and reduce the victim's bodily and psychological harm. We analysed the Munchausen syndrome cases in paediatric nephrology by proxy in this study, classifying them according to the main indicators of presentation.
