Oral self-mutilation by a 17-month-old child with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

We report a 17-month-old boy who was a known case of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and presented with self-inflicted oral ulcerations of his lips and cheeks. He had a normal complement of caries-free deciduous teeth. Initially a conservative approach was planned and a bite plate made, but as a result of poor compliance and persistent ulceration and after consultation with his parents it was decided to extract all deciduous teeth.
