What is Ganser's syndrome?

This is a rare condition of uncertain or variable aetiology. It was first described by the psychiatrist Sigbert Ganser in 1898. Ganser described the syndrome after studying the behaviour of three inmates of a prison and thus it has acquired the synonym 'prison psychosis'. He was of the opinion that the condition was hysterical or malingering in origin.
