摘要
A case is presented of a child who initially presented with genuine aural symptoms and pathology. Over a period of time it became apparent that the persistent aural bleeding, which is an uncommon feature of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media, was the result of trauma inflicted by its mother; a case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP).
