Abstract
"18 patients with leprosy were interviewed about phantom-experiences resulting from loss of limbs and digits following amputation and absorption." From these interviews and from a control group of 31 amputees it was found that the phantom-experiences appear following "traumatic or surgical amputation of digits" but not "from absorption of digits ".Keywords
