Retronychia is a clinical condition resulting from embedding of the nail plate into the proximal nail fold. We report two adolescent girls, 14 and 16 years of age, with a history of chronic proximal paronychia of the great toe, one of them developing osteomyelitis. After failure of treatment with several systemic antibiotics, nail avulsion was performed, leading us to the diagnosis of retronychia and with rapid and complete resolution of symptoms in both cases. Delay in diagnosis of retronychia can lead to local complications and prolonged discomfort.
逆行甲床襞嵌入症是一种由于甲板嵌入近端甲皱襞而导致的临床病症。我们报告了两名分别为14岁和16岁的青春期女孩，她们有大脚趾慢性近端甲沟炎病史，其中一人发展为骨髓炎。在使用多种全身性抗生素治疗失败后，进行了拔甲术，这使我们得以诊断为逆行甲床襞嵌入症，且两例患者的症状均迅速完全缓解。逆行甲床襞嵌入症的诊断延迟可导致局部并发症和长期不适。
