A life without pain: a case report

Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr. 2007 Apr;2(1):55-6. doi: 10.1007/s11751-007-0014-8.

Abstract

Congenital insensitivity to pain is a rare condition with an abnormality of interpretation of painful stimuli. This case report illustrates how a sequence of injuries after no or trivial trauma incapacitated a young boy. Especially the bilateral collapse and dislocation of the hip is an unusual sequela of this disorder.
