Abstract
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare cause of corneal anesthesia. Here, we report a case of CIPA with clinically prominent features of severe dry eye symptoms with painless corneal epithelial defect, early loss of primary teeth and a painless fissure on her upper lip in association with trigeminal anesthesia, and painless wounds on extremities.
