Abstract
We have observed mutilative self-biting leading to multiple finger amputations in two patients following C4 complete spinal cord injury (SCI). Both men were of normal intelligence without psychosis and each had a neurotic personality and history of fingernail biting. They related the self-biting to anxiety and depression. We believe these to be the first English language reports of multiple finger amputations due to self-biting following SCI.Entities:
