ABSTRACT
Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a rare form of abuse characterized by the fabrication or induction of symptoms of illness in a child by a close relative, typically a parent, leading to multiple consultations and varying degrees of invasive medical interventions. Various clinical presentations are described in the literature, ranging from organic manifestations to psychiatric expressions. This syndrome remains a challenging diagnosis to make and requires increased awareness among healthcare professionals. Prompt recognition is key to preventing potential long-term comorbidities and even fatalities. Here, we are reporting two cases of MSBP manifested by bleeding, with the perpetrator being the mother.
