Genital Self Mutilasyon; Olgu Sunumu

Year 2015, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 43 - 45, 01.04.2015

Abstract

Giriş: Son yıllarda davranış bozukluğu gösteren hastaların
acil servise başvurularında anlamlı bir artış gözlenmektedir.
Son 20 yıl için Amerika Birleşik Devletlerinde bu oran 1000’de
17,1’den 23,6’ya ulaşmıştır. İlk başvurular içinde %6,3 olarak
bildirilmiştir. Genital self mutilasyon ile acile başvuru ise çok nadir
görülmektedir. Self mutilasyon; ölüm isteği olmaksızın bireyin
bilerek ve isteyerek, kendi bedeninin bir bölgesine zarar vermesi
olarak tanımlanır. Klingsor Sendromu olarak da bilinen genital self
mutilasyon genellikle psikoz ile ilişkilidir.
Olgu Sunumu: Kırk altı yaşında erkek hasta, acil servise
skrotal ağrı ve kanama şikâyeti ile başvurdu. Hastanın yapılan
değerlendirmesinde genital self mutilasyon tanısı konuldu.
Sonuç: Acil servise genital travma ile başvuran bu olguyu
sunmadaki amacımız, genital yaralanma ile başvuran olgularda
da, genital self mutilasyon olabileceği düşünülerek psikoz gibi
ağır psikiyatrik yakınmalar göz ardı edilmemeli. Birçok hastalıkta
olduğu gibi bu olgularda da ayrıntılı öykü ve fizik muayene için
yeterli zaman ayrılmalıdır.

Genital Self-Mutilation: A Case Report

Year 2015, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 43 - 45, 01.04.2015

Abstract

Introduction: A marked increase in emergency department (ED) patients showing the application of behavior disorders has been observed in recent years. In the last two decades, mental healthrelated visits to U.S. EDs increased from 17.1 to 23.6 per 1000 U.S. population. The first applications were reported in 6.3% of the population. Emergency contact with genital self-mutilation is very rare. Knowingly and willfully requests without the individual's death is known as damaging his own self-mutilation. Klingsor Syndrome, also known as genital self-mutilation, is often associated with psychosis.Case Report: A 46-year-old male patient was admitted to ED complaining of scrotal pain and bleeding. On assessment of the patient's genitals, self-mutilation was diagnosed.Conclusion: Our aim is to provide treatment to these ED patients presenting with genital trauma and genital injury with psychosis; furthermore, genital self-mutilation can be a severe psychiatric symptom and should not be ignored. As in many diseases, a detailed history and physical examination should be allocated enough time in these cases
