[Camptodactylia. A study of 33 cases].
A marked camptodactylia, or a mere suggestion of it, was found in 91 (56; 5%) of 161 mentally ill patients, particularly in psychopaths, neurotics and patients in a neurotic state. Clinical, psychological, radiological and biological investigations were carried out in 33 patients. The camptodactylia was frequently associated with distrubances of the carbohydrate metabolism, especially with spontaneous hypoglycemias, as well as arthrotic skeletal changes. The mental disease, which had resulted in incapacity for work, had made us aware of the diversity of the anomalies in our patients.
