ABSTRACT
We report 6 patients with Munchausen syndrome, a fictitious disorder with physical symptoms. There were 4 females and 2 males, the age ranged from 21 to 29 years. Abdominal pain (2), hemoptysis, schock and hypoglycemia were the prsenting symptoms. The dignosis was made after a prolonged and costly hospital course, including invasive and non invasive diagnostic procedures. Two patients were ill enough to be at risk f death. An early diagnosis may help prevent unnecessary or risky procedutres in these patients
