Temporal Triangular Alopesili İki Olgu

Temporal triangular alopesi (TTA), doğumda ya da erken çocukluk çağında ortaya çıkan, sıklıkla frontotemporal bölgede unilateral ya da bilateral yerleşim gösteren, asemptomatik, skar bırakmayan lokalize saç kaybıdır. Etkilenen bölgede tam bir saç kaybı olabilir ya da ince vellüs tüyleri görülebilir. Alopesi genellikle kalıcıdır. Çoğunlukla alopesi areata ile karıştırılmasından dolayı literatürde bildirilen TTA olguları az sayıdadır. Burada öykü ve klinik inceleme ile TTA tanısı alan iki olgu sunularak literatür gözden geçirilecektir.

Two Cases of Temporal Triangular Alopecia

Temporal triangular alopecia (TTA) is an asymptomatic, non-scarring localized hair loss that occurs in birth or early childhood, often unilateral or bilateral in the frontotemporal region. The affected area may have a complete hair loss or thin vellus hairs. Alopecia is usually permanent. There are few cases of TTA reported in the literature because the majority of cases of TTA are misdiagnosed as alopecia areata. Here, two cases with TTA diagnosed by history and clinical examination will be presented and the literature will be reviewed.
