Abstract
First described in 1932 by Dearborn as ‘congenital pure analgesia’, congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis (CIPA) or hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) type IV is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder. A 7-year-old female child who is an established case of congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis visited the department of pediatric medicine with osteoarthritic neuropathy. A multidisciplinary team approach was utilized to treat the child under general anesthesia. This article also discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas involved in treating this type of children.

Usually, a normal response consists of a local well surrounded by a painful erythematous fare extending for 1 to 3 cm but in a pathological response the fare is absent and the pain minimal.</p></sec><sec><title>SWEAT TEST</title><p>A quantitative sweat test can be undertaken in by the application of a gauze pad saturated with 0.4% pilocarpine to the forearm. A low voltage (5mA) electric current canthen be passed between two points 3 cm apart for 5 minutes. Sweat will be collected on blotting paper applied to the area and then sealed in polyethylene for 30 minutes. A normal response is the production of over 80 mg of sweat.<sup><xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref></sup></p><p>Vasella et al suggested simultaneous injection of acetylocholine with epinephrine which may result in some sweat secretion.<sup><xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>OTHER TESTS</title><p>An electromyography (EMG) can be made to exclude other peripheral neuropathies, and skin biopsy to demonstrate absence of epidermal and sweat gland innerva-tion.<sup><xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref></sup> However, Schirmer test to measure lacrimation usually results in a normal response (Swanson 1963). An intradermal injection of histamine phosphate does produce the expected wheal but no axon fare (Pinsky and Di George 1966).<sup><xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref></sup></p><p>An elevated ratio of homovanillic acid to vanillyman-dellic acid (HMA: V Mi An) in the urine as a diagnosticaid was advocated by Vassela et al.<sup><xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref></sup> This finding is similar to that in familial dysautonomia.</p></sec><sec><title>CASE REPORT</title><p>A 7-year-old female child visited the depart ment of pedia-tric medicine with a chief complaint of swelling in the left ankle since 2 weeks (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>). The patient was already a known case of congenital insensitivity to pain and anhy-drosis. The condition was diagnosed as osteomyelitis of the left ankle (Charcot’s joint, osteoarthritic neuropathy) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>) and treatment was initiated for the left ankle. The patient was then referred to the department of pediatric dentistry as she was having bite injuries in the oral cavity.</p><p>The family history revealed that the patient was the first child of a consanguineous marriage (first degree relat ives) and had a younger sibling. It was observed that the patient had a waddling gait and subnormal intelligence. The speech development was poor and the child had difficulty in concentrating and understanding. The physical examination disclosed that the patient had dry skin and wounds along with degenerated nails on many of the digits of the hands (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3</xref>). The mouth opening was restricted (27 mm) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4</xref>).

The lower arch was edentulous except for the permanent first molars and decay was observed on 54, 64, 36 and 46 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5</xref>). The maxillary incisors showed Ellis class I fracture (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Fig. 6</xref>). The orthopantomograph exposed missing permanent tooth buds were and her mother told that the child had the habit of plucking out teeth as soon as they are erupted into the oral cavity due to irritation. This might be attributed to the absence of permanent tooth buds. Also, severe bone loss and dental caries involving the pulp in relation to 36 was noticed (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">Fig. 7</xref>). A lateral cephalogram taken to evaluate the maxillo-mandibular relationship revealed the absence of tooth buds and severe mandibular prognathism (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Fig. 8</xref>).</p><p>Magnetic resonance imaging was advised by the department of neurology and pediatrics to assess the development and condition of the brain (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">Fig. 9</xref>). The MRI revealed no obvious abnormality in the development and the condition of the brain. Radiographs of the feet revealed Charcot’s joint (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">Fig. 10</xref>).</p><p>The treatment was planned under general anesthesia due to the mental condition of the child. A multidisci-plinary approach was planned with the neurology, pediatrics and dermatology departments. Access opening in relation to 36 was done but due to the limited mouth opening negotiating the canals proved impossible. So triple antibiotic paste was filled in the pulp chamber and a permanent restoration was done (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">Fig. 11</xref>). Composite restorations were done for the fractured maxillary incisors (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Fig. 12</xref>).

Nerve growth factor is critical for the formation of autonomic neurons and small sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia. TrkA is part of the TRK proto-oncogene family and is expressed in neurons that sense temperature and noxious stimuli. A mutation to this gene causes the patient to lose the sensation of pain to noxious stimuli.<sup><xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup></p><p>Guo studied myelination and axon thickness comparing it to normal myelination in two Taiwanese brothers diagnosed with CIPA. An electromyography was employed to test the motor conduction on the median, ulnar, tibial and perineal nerves followed by sensory conduction of the same nerves. Finally, a sural nerve biopsy was performed and the number of myelinated neurons was counted and axon sizes compared. The tests revealed a loss of small myelinated and unmyelinated fibres but normal large myelinated fibres in the sural nerve. The findings were interesting because it showed that the body tries to cope with less myelinated fibers by increasing the size of the axons. A reduced number of small unmyelinated and myelinated nerves were observed in Sural nerve biopsy of this child which is in agreement with the former study. On the contrary, the increase in the size of axons was not observed.<sup><xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup></p><p>The deformity known as Charcot joint (neuropathic osteoarthropathy)<sup><xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup> was observed in the left ankle due to repeated trauma. Similar finding was reported in other documented literature. One of the major problems in these patients is to differentiate between fractures and infections. Both will usually present at an advanced stage with local swelling and warmth. The prevention of fract ure is thus imperative. Measures, such as custom-fitted shoes and periods of non-weight-bearing may be used to relieve the pressure areas. Education regarding local foot care as well as early medical attention is crucial since these can prevent the call for a radical surgery. The dislocated joints should be treated by ‘watchful neglect’. These joints are painless and mobile.<sup><xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup></p><fig id="F13" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Fig. 13</label><caption><p>A full thick excision skin biopsy and a nerve biopsy being performed</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ijcpd-08-075-g013"></graphic></fig><fig id="F14" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Fig. 14</label><caption><p>Orthokeratotic squamous epithelium with papillomatosis</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ijcpd-08-075-g014"></graphic></fig><fig id="F15" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Fig. 15</label><caption><p>Dermis showing adnexal structures which did not show any nerve fibers</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ijcpd-08-075-g015"></graphic></fig><fig id="F16" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Fig. 16</label><caption><p>Nerve biopsy showing reduction in the small unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ijcpd-08-075-g016"></graphic></fig><p>Primary tooth loss and palmar hyperkeratosis were seen in this child corresponding to the reported case by Bonkowsky et al.<sup><xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> This observation of a premature loss of teeth along with soft tissue injuries may be of great value and dentists should bear in mind that these may be the clinical signs of a rare hereditary disorder.<sup><xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref></sup></p><p>There are no standard techniques or guidelines prescribed to treat the orofacial self-inficted injuries. Hence, treatment plan is predicted according to the individual clinical circumstances. Prevention of the injuries have been suggested by employing tooth extraction, or through the use of mouth guards and splints and elimination of sharp edges of teeth by the addition of composite.<sup><xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref></sup></p><p>One more vital point to remember is that the extractions must be performed under local anesthesia to promote hemostasis though there is no pain perception felt by the patient. Also, they were reported incidences in which some patients with CIPA have tactile hyperesthesia and some even complained of pain in the postoperative period for reasons unknown.<sup><xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> The appointments must be short and the treatment carried out in a air conditioned room because of the characteristic hyperthermia due to anhydrosis. A continuous follow-up and close monitoring is necessary as it is hoped that, when the patient gets older, the self-mutilating behavior will improve (Kouvelas et at).<sup><xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref></sup> It has been reported that older patients learn not to self-mutilate, even though the sensation of pain is absent. The sense of pain is a precursor for large variety of pathological conditions, but its absence for any reason may lead to adverse and potentially life threatening situations.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>Prenatal genetic screening using amniocentesis is the sole accessible option to prevent the birth of an affected child as no cure is available. Osteoarticular and orthopedic complications of CIPA patients are one of the most frequent problems that warrant an early recognition, timely intervention, treatment and prevention to mitigate the complications.</p><p>The most important characteristic of CIP is the self-mutilating behavior that leads the child to oral ulcera-tions on lips, tongue and cheeks, self-extraction of teeth and also finger and hand biting. This unique condition is further complicated by the subpar intelligence of the child along with the other systemic ailments that pose a great challenge to the pediatric dentist. Thorough knowledge of the condition involving a multidisciplinary approach is indispensable for the management of the condition. Formulating a predictable treatment plan is very difficult in these types of patients and it is better to have a realistic feasible approach rather than having an ideal, impractical advance. Preservation of the orofacial structures should be emphasized to improve the quality of life of these individuals.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn id="n1" fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Source of
