abstract="Self-enucleation is a severe form of self-injurious behavior which presents as an ophthalmologic and psychiatric emergency. It is usually known to occur with untreated psychosis, however, there have been reports of self-enucleation across various psychopathologies. We review a case documenting self-enucleation in the forensic setting in a patient with an unusual presentation and cluster of psychotic symptoms. Literature was reviewed using PubMed/Medline databases with key terms: &quot;forensic science,&quot; &quot;forensic psychiatry,&quot; &quot;auto-enucleation,&quot; &quot;self-enucleation,&quot; &quot;Oedipism,&quot; &quot;self-harm.&quot; This case is unique as it offers an alternative presentation to those most commonly depicted in current literature, helps highlight the sparsity of literature depicting self-enucleation in the forensic setting, and stimulates discussion around various potential differential diagnoses, management strategies and complications of self-enucleation within the forensic setting. It is prudent to emphasize need for aggressive and collaborative treatment for the forensic population regardless of psychopathology, presentation, or propensity for secondary gain.<br><br>© 2018 American Academy of Forensic Sciences.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
