SummaryOBJ ECTIVE To describe the demographics, precipitating factors, substances and methods used for deliberate self-harm in Oman. RESULTSRES ULTS During the 5-year study period, 123 persons presented to various hospitals in the Muscat area with injuries that resulted form deliberate self-harm. Most of these cases were women, students and unemployed. There was a high incidence of family, marital and psychiatric or social problems. The methods of self-harm were most often analgesics (such as paracetamol) and non-pharmaceutical chemicals.CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS The rate of self-injurious behaviour is low in Oman, compared with other countries, including other Islamic countries. The data illustrate a rising rate and a tendency to ingest toxic doses of analgesics or non-pharmaceutical chemicals.

A clear understanding of the anatomy would reduce the complications associated with a faulty technique (6).In conclusion, despite the safety and effectiveness of DPNB that has been demonstrated over the last decades, great care must be taken and aseptic conditions must be maintained during such a useful procedure.
