Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS), a rare inborn error of metabolism, is characterized
by self-injurious behavior, which results in partial or total destruction of oral
and perioral tissues and/ or fingers. Persistent self-injurious behavior (biting
the fingers, hands, lips, and cheeks; banging the head or limbs) is a hallmark of
the disease. Prevention of self-mutilation raises significant difficulties. A
case of a 10-month-old boy with aggressive behavior and severe lower lip injuries
is presented. How to cite this article: Jathar P, Panse AM, Jathar M, Gawali PN.
