About these terms

CIP
Some resources use CIP (congenital insensitivity to pain) without the “anhidrosis” qualifier. Its scope is broader than CIPA, and this site does not treat the two as equivalent; where a resource is filed under CIP, its relationship to CIPA is stated in that record’s scope note.Based on: This site’s editorial handling (not a medical claim)
