Severe self-mutilation of hands in a nonpsychotic, nonretarded patient.

A case report of a young female teenager with a long history of self-destruction of her hands by chewing, scratching, and gnawing is presented. This habit was related to her successfully repaired cervical meningomyelocele in infancy. Not only did she first present with ulcerations and osteomyelitis, but also with distal autoamputation and severe iron deficiency anemia. A team approach with a pediatrician, neurologist, psychiatrist, and plastic surgeon was employed for her treatment. Behavior modification was moderately successful. Her hands and forearms were reconstructed with arthrodesis, local and distant flaps, and skin grafting without incident. She has been followed now for 4 years.
