The authors report a new case of indifference to pain secondary to hereditary sensory neuropathy in a 3 year 9 month-old boy.

Nerve biopsy showed the complete lack of amyelinic fibers. P substance, which might act as a mediator or modulator of the nociception, was absent from the cutaneous nerve endings.
