Abstract:
Congenital indifference to pain is a rare disorder chsracterized by absence of normal subjective and objective responses to noxious stimuli in patients with intact central and peripheral nervous system. It is attributed to an abnormal affective response rather than to defective perception. Sensory apparatus of the patient was intact as far as can be determined. We experieneed a csse of congenital indifference to pain with decreased sweating.
