Trichotillomania is a compulsive disorder characterized by repetitive hairpulling. It is an important cause of patchy alopecia, especially in children between 9 and 13 years of age. The aim of this paper is to report 2 pediatric cases presenting with trichotillomania without patches. This condition may be extremely distressful, impacting psychosocial development of children. In these case reports, we reinforce the relevance of trichoscopy in hair disorder evaluation, which allowed early recognition to better advise and conduct these unique pediatric cases.
拔毛癖是一种以反复拔毛为特征的强迫性障碍。它是斑秃的一个重要原因,尤其是在9至13岁的儿童中。本文旨在报告2例无斑秃表现的小儿拔毛癖病例。这种情况可能极其令人苦恼,会影响儿童的心理社会发展。在这些病例报告中,我们强调了毛发镜检在毛发疾病评估中的相关性,它有助于早期识别,从而更好地为这些特殊的小儿病例提供建议和指导。
