[Congenital analgesia. Third communication: the onset of pain sensitivity (author's transl)].

Congenital analgesia in a girl is reported for the third time. The most prominent symptom in the prepubertal child is that pain is now perceived over the entire body. Training normal perception of pain proceeded by stages. It can be established subjectively and by objective investigations. The physiology of analgesia and its probable pathomechanism are discussed.
