Monilethrix. Observation of rare hair dysplasia in two siblings. Clinical and Dermoscopic Report

Abstract

Monilethrix is an autosomal dominant genetic hair dysplasia, rarely recessive. It is considered as a congenital pathology of the hair, having as its main characteristic a very altered hair shaft in its shape. Two cases from our file are presented: two brothers treated in 2009. Their clinical and dermatoscopic features are reviewed.
