Congenital sensory neuropathy as a differential diagnosis for phagocytic immunodeficiency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are few reports about congenital indifference to pain or Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN). Several investigations for pathophysiology of this syndrome have been performed and different classifications about it. In this report we present a case of HSAN type II with general absence of pain and self amputations and leprosy-like damage of extremities which was suspected to be phagocytic immunodeficiency due to past history of repeated ulcer and abscess formation.

There has been tremendous progress in the detection and diagnosis of hereditary neuropathies and while the genes responsible for these rare neuropathies have improved our understanding of the development of the sensory system, they remain clinical enigmas with rare occurrences and diverse presentations. In 1963, Swanson first described two brothers with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidro...
متن کاملIntestinal Pseudo-Obstruction as an Unusual Gastrointestinal Presentation in Pediatric Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
