Presentation
The features of the cases presented here have not been noted in the previously reported clinical syndromes in which pili torti may be found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case is presented for its rarity and classical clinical presentation of Björnstad syndrome. Declaration of patient consent The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms. [ijtrichology.com]

An 8-year-old girl with narrow nose, small mouth, maxillary hypoplasia, cleft palate, hypodontia and hypohidrosis is described. Her scalp hair was coarse, dry and wiry. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
A sepsis workup gave negative results. On day 6, she had a respiratory arrest with hypothermia and hypotension; subsequently a serum ammonia level was obtained and was found to be 1,200 M (normal, less than 35). [kundoc.com]
Treatment
Early auditory testing should be performed in children with pili torti in order to secure early treatment of possible associated hearing loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acquired cases of the disaese may be associated with anorexia nervosa, oral retinoid treatment, malnutrition, or inflammatory scalp conditions, such as cutaneous lupus erythematousus. [xpertdox.com]
treatment Currently there is no known cure for pili torti onychodysplasia, and treatment aims to reduce symptoms and prevent or treat complications. Patients with this condition should be regularly seen by a dermatologist and psychologist. [wellness.com]

Etiology
The etiology and genetics of the syndrome however have remained unclear. We report a brother and sister with pili torti and severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss; the latter became apparent at 3 years of age. [nature.com]
