Trichotillomania is a form of traction alopecia resulting from compulsive repetitive removal of one's own hair. This entity can mimic the clinical appearance of many other forms of hair loss including alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and tinea capitis. It is important to differentiate trichotillomania from other forms of alopecia because its treatment is quite different. We present three cases of trichotillomania demonstrating the "tonsure pattern" or "Friar Tuck sign" and onychophagia (nail-biting), which we describe as clinical identifying features of this syndrome.
拔毛癖是一种牵引性脱发，由反复强迫性拔除自己的毛发所致。这种疾病可模仿许多其他形式脱发的临床表现，包括斑秃、雄激素性脱发和头癣。将拔毛癖与其他形式的脱发区分开来很重要，因为其治疗方法截然不同。我们报告三例拔毛癖病例，展示了“僧侣发型”或“福来哥·塔克征”以及咬甲癖（咬指甲），我们将其描述为该综合征的临床识别特征。
