J Pak Assoc Derma Jan ;24(3):270-4.

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare disorder characterized by episodes of fever and pain insensitivity despite the fact that all other sensory modalities remain intact or minimally impaired. Other clinical features are self-mutilated behaviour, mental retardation and anhydrosis. We present a case first time from Pakistan, 9- and 4-year-old brother and sister respectively, diagnosed as CIPA clinically with the above-mentioned clinical characteristics.
