Acute traction alopecia is a diagnostic challenge when the external factor is not suspected or admitted. We report two female patients with non-scarring patchy alopecia resulting from traction of video-electroencephalogram electrodes in which the clinical diagnosis of alopecia areata was suspected. Associated diffuse hair disorders might be implicated in these cases. The correct diagnosis of traction alopecia is important in order to avoid unnecessary treatments.
当未怀疑或未确认存在外部因素时，急性牵引性脱发是一项诊断难题。我们报告了两名女性患者，她们因视频脑电图电极牵引导致非瘢痕性斑片状脱发，最初怀疑为斑秃。这些病例可能与相关的弥漫性毛发疾病有关。正确诊断牵引性脱发对于避免不必要的治疗很重要。
