TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Self-biting with multiple finger amputations following spinal cord injury JO - Paraplegia A1 - Dahlin, P. A. A1 - Van Buskirk, N. E. A1 - Novotny, R. W. A1 - Hollis, I. R. A1 - George, Jessica SP - 306 EP - 318 VL - 23 IS - 5 N2 - 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.
