Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis and progressing acro-osteolysis: a case report with 7-year follow-up
摘要篇首: Congenital insensitivity to pain is a rare disorder,first described by Dearborn1 in 1932. Since the discovery of congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis or hereditary sensory neuropathy type Ⅳin 1983,2 fewer than 60 cases have been reported.3Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis and progressing acro-osteolysis is a very rare disorder characterized by absence of painful perception after birth. Severe problems may arise if pain sensation is absent, causing injury to oral structures as teeth, lips and the tongue by self mutilation. The patient is at a risk of late presentation with systemic illnesses associated with pain, such as fracture and joint dislocation. Importantly, the patient may suffer from acro-osteolysis with growth, for instance, osteolysis of the distal extremities.
