Abstract
Self-inflicted craniocerebral injuries have been reported exclusively in mentally disturbed patients and criminals. We report a 28-year-old man with a severe mental disorder who initially hammered a nail into his brain and subsequently repeatedly inserted foreign objects into his brain. The literature is reviewed and the surgical and psychiatric management discussed.Entities:
