Abstract :
There are few reports about congenital indifference to pain or Hereditary and Sensory
Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN). Several investigations for pathophysiology of this
syndrome have been performed and different classifications about it. In this report we
present a case of HSAN type II with general absence of pain and self amputations and
leprosy–like damage of extremities which was suspected to be phagocytic immunodeficiency
due to past history of repeated ulcer and abscess formation.
