This section is a part of the chapter: Challenges in Diagnosing and Managing Self-Embedding Behavior: A Rare Case Report
SEB is commonly associated with three types of mental disorders: psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and factitious disorders, with the majority of affected patients presenting with psychotic symptoms (Mannarino et al., 2017). Despite the extensive body of literature available, diagnosing SEB can sometimes be challenging, making treatment decisions equally complex.
Here, we describe a case from our trauma emergency department, as part of a series of injuries treated in this setting, to highlight this condition’s clinical and management aspects.
