abstract="The authors report the case of a patient with psychotic symptoms secondary to a posttraumatic stress disorder following a work-related hand injury. The somatic presentation was a &quot;mummified&quot; hand neglected for several years in a splint without any care. The psychiatric analysis concluded that this was part of a delusion of persecution expressing a conflict against the patient's employer and insurance company. Surgical treatment was limited to a hand cleaning with hardware removal. Despite 3years of antipsychotic medication the patient was still suffering from delusion and the hand remained neglected at the last follow-up.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
