Rare Coexistence of Monilethrix and Trichorrhexis Nodosa in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Monilethrix is a rare genetic disorder characterized by sparse, brittle hair, primarily affecting the scalp, although it may also affect other parts of the body. Trichorrhexis nodosa (TN) is another hair shaft disorder characterized by brittle and fragile hair shafts. Concurrence of monilethrix and TN is exceedingly rare.
