Urinary tract infection complicated by urine retention presenting as pseudocyesis in a schizophrenic patient.
General Hospital Psychiatry 2012 January
Pseudocyesis is a rare condition wherein a nonpregnant woman shows signs and symptoms of pregnancy, such as abdominal enlargement, breast enlargement, pigmentation, cessation of menses, subjective sensation of fetal movement and labor pains at the expected delivery date. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision, it is classified as a somatoform disorder, characterized by a false belief of being pregnant that is associated with objective signs of pregnancy.

The patient accepted that she had pseudocyesis after the causative medical condition resolved.
