CHICAGO, Dec. 3 -- A worrisome new form of self-mutilation -- self-embedding -- has been identified by radiologists at an Ohio children's hospital who say the practice is closely related to suicidal behavior.
William E. Shiels II, D.O., who is chief of radiology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, said he and his colleagues identified 10 cases of self-embedding injury and removed 53 objects from nine of those adolescents.
