Disruption of the central slip is the primary defect leading to boutonnière deformity. In the closed injury early diagnosis of this lesion is rarely achieved due to the limitations of current methods and difficulties encountered in assessing a painful finger. We describe a simple, non-invasive method of diagnosis which can be carried out on all patients and with minimal discomfort. This test is also beneficial in monitoring the progress of conservative management of central slip disruption.

A case of fatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis, presenting as a psychiatric emergency, is reported. The possibility of HSV encephalitis presenting mainly or solely with psychiatric symptoms is highlighted. HSV can cause a severe form of encephalitis which may present with mainly psychiatric symptoms in some cases. Early treatment with anti-viral agents can reduce mortality and morbidity, but accurate early diagnosis may be very difficult. HSV encephalopathy may mimic psychiatric illness and has been likened to syphilis as the great imitator. The case presented here should serve to raise awareness of the psychiatric features and the need to consider this diagnosis in patients with atypical behavioural disturbance.
