Retronychia refers to the embedding of the nail into the proximal nail fold. Patients present with chronic paronychia in the setting of disrupted nail growth. Nail avulsion is curative and unlike other forms of ingrown nails, it does not tend to recur. We report a case of retronychia who presented with pain and swelling around bilateral great toes. Further examination showed growth of overlapping nail plates, which led to the diagnosis of retronychia. This article emphasizes the clinical features and treatment options available for retronychia, thereby avoiding misdiagnosis.
逆行甲皱襞嵌入症是指甲嵌入近端甲皱襞。患者在指甲生长紊乱的情况下出现慢性甲沟炎。甲床撕脱术可治愈该疾病，与其他形式的嵌甲不同，它不易复发。我们报告了一例逆行甲皱襞嵌入症患者，其双侧大脚趾周围出现疼痛和肿胀。进一步检查发现有重叠甲片生长，从而确诊为逆行甲皱襞嵌入症。本文强调了逆行甲皱襞嵌入症的临床特征和可用的治疗方案，以避免误诊。
