Acroosteolysis (AO) is a rare bone resorption condition. This study describes a unique "split" sign in the skin of affected toes, aiding early diagnosis of idiopathic AO.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Radiology
- Genetics
Background:
- Acroosteolysis (AO) involves distal bone resorption, with various classifications and known skin/nail changes.
- Cutaneous manifestations during the natural progression of AO remain poorly documented.
- Idiopathic Acroosteolysis (IAO) is a primary form, often genetic, presenting without identifiable secondary causes.
