Only nine previous cases of self- or auto-cannibalism (autosarcophagy) have previously been reported in the literature. Here, we report a 29-year-old man with psychosis and a history of polysubstance use who presented after his second attempt to self-cannibalize. This case raises questions about the underlying causes and dynamics of self-cannibalism in psychiatric illness and its relation to other types of self-harm behavior.
此前文献中仅报道过9例自我食人或自体食人(自体噬肉)的病例。在此,我们报告一名29岁患有精神病且有多种物质使用史的男性,他在第二次尝试自我食人后前来就诊。该病例引发了关于精神疾病中自我食人的潜在原因和动态变化及其与其他类型自我伤害行为关系的问题。
