A Unique Case of Trichorrhexis Nodosa—"Bamboo Hairs"

The document reports a unique case of a 4-year-old girl with a congenital ectodermal defect leading to a rare type of hair fragility known as trichorrhexis nodosa, described as "bamboo hairs." The condition resulted in her scalp hair failing to grow to normal length, although there was no baldness. The case, first examined in 1949, has garnered interest among dermatologists due to its rarity, despite the challenge of limited prolonged observation as the patient lived in a distant city.
