Pili Torti
Twisted hair
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]
- We report a case of pili torti in a child who presented fragile, brittle, difficult to comb hair. The patient had no comorbidities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We present two new families with this combination of symptoms, and a restudy of a third family. The genetic aspects are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Leukonychia
- A patient with both pili torti and leukonychia had a family history indicating dominant inheritance for the nail changes. However, no relatives had hair abnormalities. The authors briefly review both of these unusual entities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- The more common congenital defects and syndromes associated with pili torti include Beare syndrome (scarce beard and body hair, alopecia after puberty in African descent individuals); Ronchese syndrome (leukonychia, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, nail[scielo.br]

Narrow Nose
- 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]
- There is no specific treatment for this condition, but it may improve spontaneously after puberty. We report a case of pili torti in a child who presented fragile, brittle, difficult to comb hair. The patient had no comorbidities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- 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]
- You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments.[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

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]
