The Voice of the Lost Toe: Pseudo-Ainhum Beyond Skin.

An 11-year-old boy presented with serial autoamputations of the right 4th and 5th toes during the past 6 years. This was associated with sensory loss on the right leg and development of constriction bands around the right 2nd and 3rd digits for the past 5 months. For a year, the patient had been treated with paucibacillary, multi-drug therapy (PB-MDT) with a presumptive diagnosis of leprosy. He was born from a nonconsanguinous marriage and the birth was uneventful. The developmental milestones were normal, and no family history of any congenital anomalies was reported.
