"Haunted by Dracula's teeth"
Phantom teeth syndrome is the delusion that one's teeth have grown into fangs, once they've been removed. Call it Dracula's Teeth Syndrome:
Phantoms are thought to arise when the brain's map of the sensory areas becomes distorted during re-organisation, after the actual sensations from the removed appendage stop.
(thanks to Steve Burnett!)
That was kind of funny. You should send it around the world.
