Oral Rehabilitation in Patient With Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN) Type V: Clinical Report

Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSANs) are rare inheritable syndromes of unknown etiology. They typically appear in early childhood and are categorized into six different types based on their symptoms. HSAN-V is characterized by loss of pain and thermal perception, Charcot joints, painless fractures, scoliosis, oral lesions, and absent corneal reflexes. The HSAN-V phenotype has a propensity to progress to autoamputation, varying degrees of hypohidrosis, and moderate hyperactivity and perception delay. In this case report, we focused on oral findings, prosthodontic treatments, and oral rehabilitation of a 9-year-old girl with HSAN type V.
