TLDR Hair transplantation effectively treated a bald patch in an 18-year-old woman with Temporal Triangular Alopecia.
The document described a successful treatment of Temporal Triangular Alopecia (TTA) in an 18-year-old woman using follicular unit hair transplantation. The patient had an 8 cm² bald patch since childhood, and 250 follicular units were transplanted into the area. The cosmetic results were satisfactory after 3 to 4 months. The document highlighted the ineffectiveness of medical treatments like minoxidil or corticosteroids for TTA and suggested that surgical hair transplantation is a viable option for this condition, despite the lack of extensive studies on the subject.
