Yamini Saraswathi Gurram, Bhavana Jala Nerella
Abstract: This is a case of congenital pain insensitivity. This case projects the main presenting complaints and clinical features and psychological condition of the patient. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of infections and unexplained fever, anhidrosis (inability to sweat), and absence of reaction to noxious stimuli, self-mutilating behavior, mental retardation and damages to oral structures. Methods of early diagnosis like genetic typing can help us understand the course of disease easier.
