Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) type IV, also known as congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (OMIM 256800), is part of a family of neurodegenerative disorders that manifest with variable sensory and autonomic neuropathies. In this report, we present a unique dermatological finding in a patient with HSAN type IV: bilateral harlequin syndrome that occurred in association with unilateral Horner syndrome, traumatic alopecia and Riga-Fede disease.
