Case ReportsUnusual case of Munchausen's syndrome: factitious vesical lithiasis.
We report an uncommon case of a 38-year-old woman who admitted for bladder lithiasis undergoing repeated surgical management and being apparently recurrent. The intravenous pyelography and retrograde urethrocystography clear the urinary tract. ⋯ The self-intromission of these calculi into the bladder is due to the personality disorder being in the frame of Munchausen's syndrome. Two years later, no recurrence is noted and an excellent psychiatric care is achieved.
