Abstract
- Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease classified as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type VI. Patients with CIPA are characterized by insensitivity to pain, episodes of unexplained fever, anhidrosis, self-mutilating behavior, intellectual disability, and autonomic nervous system abnormalities. The clinical features may intrinsically pose anesthetic challenges. We present a case of a patient with CIPA who underwent tumor biopsy under general anesthesia using a Supreme laryngeal mask airway without any complications. The anesthetic management of this condition is discussed.
