Report of a new case with loose anagen hair syndrome and scanning electron microscopy findings

摘要

A 6-year-old girl was referred with the complaints of retarded hair growth in addition to easily and painlessly extractable hair. Even though her hair had never been cut since her birth, it could only reach the nape of her neck. No other member of the family had similar complaints. She was otherwise healthy and did not have any tooth or nail abnormalities or dermato-logical illness. Her physical examination proved normal with age appropriate growth and development. Her routine laboratory investigations were unremarkable.
