Abstract

Munchausen syndrome is a syndrome which the patients act as if they are the real patients or mimicking several diseases. The cases strenghten their situations by telling unreal but worse stories about their imaginative diseases. This cardiac type called Cardiopathia fantastica is probably the rarest form. In this report, we described a 58-year old man who presented typical chest pain lasting more than one hour, and subsequently diagnosed Munchausen Syndrome.

Özet

Munchausen sendromu, hastaların çeşitli hastalıkları taklit ederek ya da kendilerine zarar verecek ilaçları kullanarak hastaymış izlenimi yarattıkları bir sendromdur. Olgular, genellikle dramatik öyküler anlatarak bu tabloyu pekiştirirler. Cardiopathia fantastica adı da verilen kardiyak form muhtemelen en seyrek görülen formdur. Bu yazıda Munchausen sendromu tanısı konan, bir saatten fazla devam eden göğüs ağrısı tanımlayan 58 yaşındaki erkek bir olgu sunulmaktadır.
