    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Congenital alopecia universalis is a rare condition characterized by the absence of hair from birth.
    • It is often associated with other ectodermal dysplasia symptoms, making isolated cases noteworthy.
    • Understanding the genetic and clinical spectrum of alopecia universalis is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of congenital alopecia universalis in a pediatric patient.
    • To highlight the absence of associated ectodermal defects and mental abnormalities in this specific case.
    • To contribute to the literature on isolated congenital alopecia universalis.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of an eight-year-old girl.
    • Clinical examination for ectodermal defects and mental status.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of family history and parental consanguinity.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient presented with complete hair loss from birth (alopecia universalis).
    • No other ectodermal abnormalities (e.g., nail, teeth, sweat gland defects) were observed.
    • No signs of mental retardation or developmental delay were present.
    • There was no family history of similar conditions, and the parents were non-consanguineous.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital alopecia universalis can occur as an isolated finding without other ectodermal defects or intellectual impairment.
    • This case underscores the phenotypic variability of alopecia universalis.
    • Further research into the genetic underpinnings of isolated alopecia universalis is warranted.
