Evan Darwin, Penelope A Hirt, Raymond Fertig, Brett Doliner, Gina Delcanto, Joaquin J JimenezInternational Journal of Trichology 2018 10(2):51-60Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex autoimmune condition that causes nonscarring hair loss.

Three cases of radiation-induced temporary alopecia with hair microscopic examination: & #8220;coudability hair & #8221; might not be specific for alopecia areata
Jung Eun Seol, Do Hyeong Kim, So Hee Park, Gyeong Je Cho, Hyojin KimInternational Journal of Trichology 2018 10(1):40-43Endovascular interventional procedures are widely used for the treatment of intracranial vascular lesions. However, they sometimes produce reversible alopecia, known as radiation-induced temporary alopecia, depending on the radiation dose. Radiation-induced temporary alopecia manifested as rectangular alopecic patches without signs of inflammation, reflects damage to the keratinocytes in the hair matrix of anagen hair follicles, due to the sensitivity of these cells to radiation. The characteristics of ra...

Rare variant of ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defect-cleft lip/cleft palate syndrome: Curly hair-ankyloblepharon-nail disease syndrome
We report a rare case of a 7-year-old girl child who presented with history of abnormal dentition, 20 nail dystrophy, and light-colored, sparse curly hairs since birth. Parents gave history that at the time of birth, her both eyelids were fused partially, which was surgically corrected by an ophthalmologist at 1 month of age. There was no history of hypohidrosis or anhidrosis, heat intolerance, cleft lip or cleft palate. Microscopy of the hair shaft found “bubbly hair” morphology. This case is unique as it is a rare presentation, and awareness should be there for this constellation of findings so ...
