The symptoms of HSAN can vary widely depending on the type and severity of the disorder. Common symptoms in neonates include:
- Loss of pain sensation: This can lead to unnoticed injuries and infections. - Temperature regulation issues: Neonates may have difficulty maintaining a stable body temperature. - Feeding difficulties: Poor muscle tone and autonomic dysfunction can make feeding challenging. - Recurrent infections: Due to unnoticed injuries and a compromised ability to feel pain. - Developmental delays: Motor and sensory developmental milestones may be delayed.
