research Pediatric Radiation-Induced Alopecia Post Intracranial Vascular Malformation Embolization: A Case Report with Dermoscopic Findings
A 7-year-old girl developed a square-shaped alopecic patch on her occipital scalp 18 days after intracranial vascular malformation embolization, attributed to radiation-induced alopecia (RIA). Dermoscopic examination showed black dots, yellow dots, Pohl-Pinkus constrictions, tapered hairs, flame hairs, and upright regrowing hairs, confirming RIA due to the match with the radiation exposure field. The presence of Pohl-Pinkus constrictions and tapered hairs indicates a dystrophic anagen response, suggesting less severe follicular damage and potential for hair regrowth. This case highlights dermoscopy's role in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic conditions in pediatric neurointerventional patients.

1 year ago Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
