摘要
A case of Munchausen syndrome associated with habitual voluntary false confessions is described. It is suggested that voluntary false confessions may be an overlooked feature of Munchausen syndrome, Furthermore, it is suggested that this case raises the possibility that a yet unidentified variant of Munchausen syndrome may exist which substitutes prison for hospital.
