Grey's Anatomy - Oct 5 - What was the diagnosis on the little girl that couldn't feel pain?

Question

I saw up until the part where they were doing the cat scan on her, but I didn't see what her diagnosis was.

Answer 1

CIPA. The internal bleeding was from having people punch her in the stomach or hit her with a baseball bat to prove she had super powers.

Answer 2

CIPA....it stands for congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis, basically a very rare disorder as you mentioned. About 17 people in the United States, 60 or 70 cases around the world. Very difficult diagnose to make.

Basically, the children cannot feel any pain whatsoever. The nerves coming from their body do not send a signal to the brain saying, ouch, there's pain here. They do not feel hot or cold temperatures, and they do not sweat either. They can feel pressure or touch. But again, a very rare disorder here.

Answer 3

She was suffering from internal bleeding due to being punched and hit with a baseball bat. She has a rare disease where she can’t feel any pain.

Answer 4

She was bleeding internally and she had the disease to where she could not feel pain that is why she kept injuring herself. They did surgery. The same episode comes on again tonight at 8pm.

Answer 5

she had a condition where she couldn't feel any pain. and when she let the people punch her in the stomach then hit her with the baseball bat, she got inernal bleeding, so they had to do surgery

Answer 6

I think your refering to the condition in which people dont feel pain. it's a birth defect known as congenital dysmorphic analgia.

Answer 7

Not certain - BUT - since ABC is re-running the episode tonight, AND you can watch the episode on abc.com, you might be able to pick it up the second time around.

Answer 8

Not really sure, but I'm wondering about the fact that she is a foster kid and Izzy gave her baby up for adoption-perhaps she is her kid!!!

Answer 9

she was internally bleeding
