Type V

Hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) type V is a rare autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation in neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1 gene located on chromosome 1 (1q21-1q22). It is characterized by pain insensitivity, partial anhydrosis without mental retardation and unimpaired touch and pressure sensitivity. Self-mutilation injury involving teeth, lips, tongue, ears, eyes, nose and fingers are invariable feature of this disorder. This rare disorder can be extremely challenging for the physicians as the symptoms like pain, tenderness is absent and hence most of the symptoms and injuries are frequently missed. Here we report a case of 1-year old female child with HSAN type V, having the typical clinical manifestations of pain insensitivity causing self-mutilation. Apart from the classical manifestations of HSAN type V, our case also had bilateral corneal opacity.

Uncommon Condition

Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy type IV (HSAN-IV), previously known as congenital insensitivity to pain and anhidrosis (CIPA), is an uncommon condition that presents in infancy with repeated episodes of fever, loss of pain sensations and self-mutilation. We are reporting two patients from two different families. Both patients had history of recurrent fever, anhidrosis, and pain insensitivity and self-mutilation behavior. Both had delayed motor developmental milestones with cognitive impairment. Clinical diagnosis of HSAN type IV was made on the basis of history, clinical examination and excluding other possible causes. Diagnosis of this rare disease is commonly delayed and patients ultimately develop complications. As there is no definitive treatment, these patients and their families should receive proper education and counselling for rehabilitation

Rare Autosomal Recessive Disease

Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN) are rare diseases. Five different types are described. Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type V, also known as congenital insensitivity to pain, is a rare autosomal recessive disease seen in early childhood. Self-mutilation is an invariable feature of this disorder involving the teeth, tongue, lips, and fingers. This report described the case of a 2-year-old baby boy who had self-mutilating injuries to her tongue and hands, caused by biting. Protective splints were given to the patient to prevent further self-mutilation.

The Relationship

The aim of this study, which was carried out in the French-speacking part of Switzerland, was to examine the relationship between suicide attempts and self-mutilation by adolescents and young adults. The population, aged 14-25 years (N = 308), included a clinical sample of dependent subjects (drug abuse and eating disorders) compared to a control sample. On the basis of the Mini Neuropsychiatric Interview ( Sheehan et al., 1998 ), DSM-IV criteria were used for the inclusion of the clinical population. The results concerning the occurrence of suicide attempts as well as on self-mutilation confirm most of the hypotheses postulated: suicidal attempts and self-mutilation were more common in the clinical group compared to the control group, and there was a correlation between suicide attempts and self-mutilation. However, there was only a partial overlap, attesting that suicide and self-harm might correspond to two different types of behaviour.
