The authors report the case of a patient with psychotic symptoms secondary to a
posttraumatic stress disorder following a work-related hand injury. The somatic
presentation was a "mummified" hand neglected for several years in a splint
without any care. The psychiatric analysis concluded that this was part of a
delusion of persecution expressing a conflict against the patient's employer and
insurance company. Surgical treatment was limited to a hand cleaning with
hardware removal. Despite 3 years of antipsychotic medication the patient was
still suffering from delusion and the hand remained neglected at the last follow-up.
