ABSTRACT
Self-enucleation represents an extreme but fortunately rare form of deliberate self-harm. Case reports of patients who self-enucleate reveal some common features. A case of auto-enucleation in a young schizophrenic patient and a short discussion on deliberate self-harm are presented.

Keywords: self-enucleation, deliberate self-harm, schizophrenia
