Extractions: helpful? yes no Congenital Insensitivity to Pain: Congenital Indifference to Pain; Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy Types I-IV; HSAN Types I-IV In Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, there are structural abnormalities in peripheral nerves which are the peripheral pathways carrying electrical impulses from pain sensitive nerve endings in both superficial and deep tissues. In Congenital Indifference to Pain, the peripheral nerves are intact and the defect is apparently in the central structures such as the thalamus where painful impulses are normally interpreted. However, it is now thought that some individuals, formerly given a diagnosis of Congenital Indifference to Pain, have been shown by refined histological techniques, which look at the minute structures of bodies, to also have peripheral nerve abnormalities and are therefore examples of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. Nevertheless, Congenital Indifference to Pain almost certainly exists as an independent condition, but is very rare. Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (of which types I to IV are generally accepted, with some other very rare conditions) is usually classified under the more general heading of Hereditary and Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN). The various categories are distinguished according to clinical features, including age of onset, progressive or non-progressive, presence or absence of abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system, if the system is sympathetic (augmenting actions) or parasympathetic (inhibiting actions) and also according to the nature of structural abnormalities in peripheral nerves.

Extractions: I am sorry to hear about your child. Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, defective temperature control, and mild mental retardation. There is a selective loss of unmyelinated axons and small myelinated fibers. The gene locus for this entity maps to chromosome 1q21-22. Mutations in the trkA gene encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor for nerve growth factor have been described in some patients. I know you know this already, but I thought I'd put it in for others.

Extractions: Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: 7 year old female with known hereditary sensory neuropathy. Presents with right infected index finger. Findings: AP and lateral view of the right hand demonstrate loss of cortex and length of the distal phalanx of the second finger consistent with erosion of bone as can be seen with osteomyelitis. Irregularity of the cortex of the tip of the first distal phalanx is also seen so that osteomyelitis within this region or the effects of trauma cannot be ruled out. AP view of the foot was also obtained and demonstrate sclerosis and irregularity of the bony margins at the distal aspect of the first metatarsal bone. In addition there is medial subluxation of the distal aspect of the first metatarsal with respect to the first proximal phalanx. These findings are most likely due to remote injury. Differential Diagnosis: Findings in the hand demonstrate acroosteolysis. This may either be familial or acquired. The familial form of acroosteolysis is also known as Hajdu-Cheney syndrome or acquired acroosteolysis causes of which are burns, frostbite, electric shock, exposure to polyvinyl chloride, syringomyelia, diabetes, congenital insensitivity to pain, leprosy, Raynaud's disease, collagen vascular diseases, sarcoidosis, hyperparathyroidism, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Pain arouses and demands our immediate attention. There are instances in which there is a congenital insensitivity to pain. Two cases of congenital insensitivity to pain are reported.

Neuroscience For Kids - Pain These people have a rare condition called congenital insensitivity to pain .Their nervous systems are not equipped to detect painful information. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/pain.html
Extractions: Pain and Why It Hurts You may not like it, but we need pain. Pain acts as a warning system that protects you. Pain says, "Warning, Warning....stop what you doing and do something else". For example, if you have your hand on a hot stove, pain tells you to stop touching the stove and remove your hand. In this way, pain protects your body from injury (or further injury if you have already hurt yourself). Pain also helps healing...because an injury hurts, you rest. There are some people who are born WITHOUT the sense of pain. These people have a rare condition called "congenital insensitivity to pain". Their nervous systems are not equipped to detect painful information. You may think this is a good thing....it is NOT. Without the ability to detect painful events, you would continue to cause injury to yourself. For example, if you broke a bone in your arm, you might continue using the arm because it did not hurt. You could cause further injury to your arm. People with congenital insensitivity to pain usually have many injuries like pressure sores, damaged joints and even missing or damaged fingers! So, what kind of things in the outside world can cause pain? Events that cause reactions are called

Extractions: Comments TRK oncogenes are created by chromosomal rearrangements linking the tyrosine-kinase domain of the NTRK1 gene (encoding one of the receptors for the nerve growth factor) to foreign activating sequences. TRK oncogenes are frequently detected in human papillary thyroid carcinoma, as result of rearrangements involving at least three different activating genes. Greco et al. (1993, PMID:8288244 ) have found that the rearrangements creating all the TRK oncogenes so far characterized fall within a 2.9-kb XbaI/SmaI restriction fragment of the NTRK1 gene.

Extractions: Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare congenital condition characterised by reduced sensitivity to pain and heat, and an inability to sweat. It was first reported by the Tokyo University team of Nishida et al. in 1951, at which time a full understanding was not possible due to insufficient patient numbers. Learning more about this disease shows us how much a disturbance of two of the basic human defence mechanisms, the abilities to feel pain and to sweat, can interfere with human lifestyle. The study of CIPA can also aid in the elucidation of the mechanism and role of sweating and sensitivity to pain and heat. We look forward to the attendance, and participation in lively discussions, of members of the medical, welfare, educational and psychological professions, as well as lay people.
