abstract="BACKGROUND:: Genital self-mutilation is a well-known phenomenon in patients with schizophrenia and has occasionally been described in patients with personality disorders or transsexuality. However, literature just provides few cases of genital self-mutilation related to the use of psychotropic substances. CASE DESCRIPTION:: A previously mentally healthy man (age, 32 years) performed manual amputation of both testes after first use of lysergic acid diethylamide in combination with alcohol consumption. Follow-up examination 6 month after the event did not reveal the development of a psychiatric disorder. CONCLUSIONS:: This report shows that a first and single use of lysergic acid diethylamide in combination with alcohol can cause intoxication with dramatic consequences.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
