Case Presentation A 12-year-old boy presented with a band of red hair over the interparietal region that was present since birth and had become more obvious over the years ( Figure 1A ). The rest of his scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes were brown. [dpcj.org]

Conclusions The present results suggest that the microcanaliculi of the hair surface, easily found with scanning electron microscopy, may be secondary not only to the cavities seen in the sections but also to the disorder of proteins that form this region [anaisdedermatologia.org.br]

Homepage Rare diseases Search Search for a rare disease Disease definition A rare isolated, benign hair shaft abnormality, usually presenting after the age of 2 and affecting the hair of the scalp or, very rarely, beard, axillary, or pubic hair. [orpha.net]

This particular condition mainly involves around 20 to 80% of the hair that are present on the scalp, though it can also involve hair present on the face and the whole body. Hair, which get affected might be prone towards getting broken. [lybrate.com]

This activity illustrates the various presentations and reviews the evaluation and management of pili annulati. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Alopecia

  We report the case of a patient with a history of alopecia areata and alopecia universalis who developed the characteristic banded hair of pili annulati upon resolution of her alopecia areata. [mdedge.com]

  Statistical analysis showed that the frequency of alopecia areata among patients with pili annulati was higher than within the general population. Five of our patients with pili annulati have gone through severe episodes of alopecia areata. [medicaljournals.se]

  An association with alopecia areata has been reported. We present a 13-year-old girl who had alopecia areata and coincidentally was found to have pili annulati. [scienceopen.com]
