Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis: First Reported Case in Nepal

Clin Case Rep. 2025 Jul 28;13(8):e70697. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.70697. eCollection 2025 Aug.

ABSTRACT

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by anhidrosis, self-mutilation, and insensitivity to pain and temperature. While genetic testing confirms the diagnosis, it is not always feasible, making clinical recognition crucial in resource-limited settings. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach help prevent complications like severe injuries, infections, and hyperpyrexia.
