Congenital Insensitivity to Pain and Anhidrosis Masquerading as a Chronic Osteomyelitis of the Talus: A Case Report / 대한족부족관절학회지

ABSTRACT

We experienced a case of congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis mimicking a chronic osteomyelitis of the talus, with recurrent ankle swelling and intermittent fever. He was misdiagnosed as low virulence osteomyelitis at other hospital in annual recurrence for 3 years. A Charcot joint in children is a very rare condition and diagnosis should be made in a careful approach.
