Congenital insensitivity to pain or more scientifically Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN) is a rare genetic disorder which associates dysfunction with varying degree of dysfunction. Due the peripheral neuropathy, decreased sensitivity even complete anesthesia may be present resulting in, on ophthalmological level, neurotrophic ulcers. We report case 2 sisters (JM KM) presenti...

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhydrosis (CIPA) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by inability to feel pain and temperature, and decreased or absent sweating. Familiarity to this condition is important to avoid misdiagnosing it with leprosy and other peripheral nerve diseases. An inability to feel pain may lead to repeated self-trauma (tongue, lips and finger tips) ultimately lea...
