一名34岁的有孤独症病史的男性患了严重的牙龈裂。临床评估时，患者反复用指甲刮拭患处。病变的临床特征符合局灶性炎症增生、牙周病和人为口炎。这篇文章描述了这个病例，并讨论了在治疗任何精神年龄受损的病人时重要的诊断和行为问题。
A 34-year-old man with a history of autism developed a deep gingival cleft. During clinical evaluation, the patient repeatedly scraped the affected area with his fingernail. The lesion's clinical features were consistent with focal inflammatory hyperplasia, periodontal disease and factitious stomatitis. This article describes the case and discusses diagnostic and behavioral issues important in treating any patient whose mental age is impaired.
