摘要
Patients with factitious symptoms occasionally present as neurosurgical emergencies. We have had six admissions over an 8-year period. They all presented at night, half of them during a weekend. Although an organic cause had to be excluded, they were all discharged within 24 h of admission without surgical intervention.
