abstract="A 52-year-old woman was admitted for emergency treatment after traumatic enucleation. Because of the position of the avulsed eye and the acute mental condition of the patient a trauma caused by self-mutilation could not be excluded. There was even the suspicion of self-enucleation in a second case and in both cases a psychiatrist was consulted but ultimately a disastrous accident was clearly verified for both patients. Nevertheless, an interdisciplinary evaluation should be initiated in cases of patients with a suspicious traumatic injury as in cases of self-mutilation the danger of relapse is high in the first hours and weeks after the primary event.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
