Non-Suicidal Self-Embedding Behavior as a Means of Socialization: A Case Report

Öz

Background: Self-injurious behavior, which is frequently observed in the general population, also constitutes a significant proportion of emergency department presentations. Although it most commonly manifests as drug ingestion, another relatively frequent method involves the insertion of foreign bodies into the body. Particularly among incarcerated individuals, non-suicidal self-embedding behavior has been increasingly reported. This practice, often rooted in a “socialization concept,” may also serve as a means of secondary gain and lead to recurrent emergency department visits.
Case Presentation:  This case presentation describes an interesting and rare non-suicidal method found by a 28-year-old male patient to get from prison to the hospital.
Conclusion: While medical and psychological interventions are critical in the management of such cases, it is essential not to overlook the social dimension of the issue. In particular, for incarcerated patients, prioritizing social rehabilitation over purely medical treatment may yield more comprehensive and sustainable outcomes.
