Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a very rare hereditary syndrome worldwide due to certain gene mutations and histological appearances that affect the peripheral pathway of noxious stimuli transmission and the innervation of sweat glands. It is characterized by insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, and heat intolerance. We describe the clinical features and the anaesthetic...

DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Thirty-two consecutive patients with erythromelalgia who had thermoregulatory sweat testing in addition to vascular and...

We present a five-year-old girl with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. A skeletal radiographic survey revealed several old fractures. Application of pilocarpine showed anhidrosis and nerve biopsy revealed a significant decrease in the number of myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibres.

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a rare genetic disorder of peripheral nervous system characterised by recurrent episode of unexplained fever, generalized anhidrosis, insensitivity to pain and temperature and self mutilating behavior. We are presenting a eight year old female with CIPA who have pus discharge and pathological fracture of anterior mandible .Sural nerve biopsy r...

A nhidrosis is defined as a condition where perspiration does not occur despite adequate and sufficient impulse. 1 This condition may be encountered as localized or diffuse through the whole body. The amount of perspiration caused by temperature, pharmacological agents, and other factors may differ inter-personally.
