Calcaneal ulcer in a child with congenital insensitivity to pain syndrome.
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare hereditary sensory neuropathy, comprising congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, and mental retardation. We present a 4-year-old child with CIPA and a calcaneal ulcer who was treated with double opposing rotation flaps, which eventually healed.
