Q. A case of psychiatric disorder named BIID ( body identity integrity disorder) is presented to orthopaedic clinic for opinion regarding which feature?
a. Charcot's joint
b. Self mutilation
c. Factitious illness
d. Fake joint pains
e. Amputation
f. Excessive fitness consciousness
Answer -
e
The patient with BIID consults orthopaedicians for amputation of his/her normal limb. The disorder consists of patient's perception of his/her normal limb (certain part or whole) as abnormal, alien or worst belonging to someone else rather than his/her own.
The patient can exactly delineate the level from which that body part appears alien to him/her. The patient bears so much psychological burden that he/she wishes to happily remove it and are often 'cured' after the consented amputation. Thus amputation has a therapeutic effect in these individuals.
