Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of child abuse in which a mother causes or simulates her child's symptoms and presents the child for diagnosis and treatment. All previously reported cases have involved acute illnesses. This case study describes the ways in which a mother obtained a diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss as well as amplification for her normally hearing infant.

KEY WORDS: Munchausen syndrome by proxy, child abuse, case history
