Abstract		Background. Pseudocyesis in a rare disorder characterized by the conviction of a nonpregnant woman (rarely also a man) that she (he) is pregnant in association with the development of objective signs and symptoms of pregnancy. The disorder involves both psychological and neuroendocrine mechanisms, it is heterogeneous and it is not precisely separated from other more common disorders. It is placed on borderline between psychiatry and gynecology, between psychical and somatic disorder Conclusions. The authors describe the definition, history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, etiology and treatment of pseudocyesis according to medical literature and their experience.
Summary		Izhodišča. Psevdocieza je redka motnja, pri kateri nenoseča ženska (zelo redko tudi moški) trdno verjame, da je noseča (oz. noseč) in ima tudi objektivne znake in simptome nosečnosti. Pri njenem nastanku so pomembni tako psihološki kot tudi nevroendokrini mehanizmi, je heterogena in precej nejasno razmejena od drugih podobnih bolj pogostih motenj. Nahaja se na mejnem področju med psihiatrijo in ginekologijo, na meji med duševno in telesno motnjo. Zaključki. Avtorja v prispevku opišeta definicijo, zgodovinski pregled, epidemiologijo, klinično sliko, diagnostiko, etiologijo in zdravljenje psevdocieze na podlagi dostopne literature in lastnih izkušenj.
