[ 4 ] 1974: Comings and Amromin describe 3 members from a 2-generation family which consisted of a mother, her son and her daughter with the symptoms characteristic of Marsili syndrome, there was a possibility that ...
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the nervous system which prevents the feeling of pain or temperature and prevents a person from sweating. Cognitive disorders are commonly coincidental.
The signs and symptoms of hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 typically appear during a person's teens or twenties. While the features of this disorder tend to worsen over time, affected individuals have a normal life expectancy if signs and symptoms are properly treated. Type 1 is the most common form among the 5 types of HSAN.
Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP), also known as congenital analgesia, is one or more extraordinarily rare conditions in which a person cannot feel (and has never felt) physical pain. [1] The conditions described here are separate from the HSAN group of disorders, which have more specific signs and cause.
The diagnostic criteria for acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis is as follows: [6] Despite the widespread distribution of idiopathic anhidrosis or hypohidrosis lesions in a non-segmental spinal pattern, no additional neurological or autonomic symptoms are noted. [6] At least 25% of the body is affected by anhidrotic or hypohidrotic regions.
Idiopathic pure sudomotor failure (IPSF) is the most common cause of a rare disorder known as acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA), a clinical syndrome characterized by generalized decrease or absence of sweating without other autonomic and somatic nervous dysfunctions and without persistent organic cutaneous lesions.
The signs and symptoms occur on the same side (ipsilateral) as it is a lesion of the sympathetic trunk. It is characterized by miosis (a constricted pupil ), partial ptosis (a weak, droopy eyelid), apparent anhidrosis (decreased sweating), with apparent enophthalmos (inset eyeball ).
An extreme case of hypohidrosis in which there is a complete absence of sweating and the skin is dry is termed anhidrosis. [3] The condition is also known as adiaphoresis , [ 4 ] ischidrosis , [ 5 ] oligidria , [ 6 ] oligohidrosis [ 7 ] and sweating deficiency .
