Abstract EN
There are few reports of severe self-injury to eyes in patients with schizophrenia.
We report on a 41-year-old woman, primarily visiting for symptoms of endophthalmitis resulting from self-inflicted needles.
Further evaluations established the diagnosis of schizophrenia because of arguing and commenting on auditory hallucinations and negative symptoms including social isolation, decreased self-care, blunt affect, and a monotone voice.
The patient had been suffering from auditory hallucinations for several years and found relief in bodily pain caused by needles.
The patient received 6 mg of risperidone.
Hallucinations were resolved and self-injury behaviour was not repeated.
