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.
Marsili syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder which is characterized by symptoms similar to those reported on individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. It can be fatal if it goes unnoticed/undiagnosed.
Type 4, congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), is an autosomal recessive condition and affected infants present with episodes of hyperthermia unrelated to environmental temperature, anhidrosis and insensitivity to pain. Palmar skin is thickened and charcot joints are commonly present.
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.
A patient and doctor discuss congenital insensitivity to pain. For people with this disorder, cognition and sensation are otherwise normal; for instance, patients can still feel discriminative touch (though not always temperature [3]), and there are generally no detectable physical abnormalities.
Anhidrosis is not a temporary condition, and as Hamblin concludes, "a temporary inability to sweat would defy medical precedent. A long-standing detachment from the consequences of one’s actions ...
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.
Research suggests that over half of women going through menopause experience musculoskeletal symptoms, including frozen shoulder. Not to mention that we all gradually lose muscle mass as we age ...
