Abstract:
We report a patient with nail and bone disorders of the index and middle fingers (Iso and Kikuchi syndrome) associated with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus. Angiographic studies showed filiform arteries of the fingers and slow blood circulation. Since a vascular pathogenic mechanisms is probable, the designation "Congenital ischemic onychodystrophy" seems more suitable. The association with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus has not previously been reported.
