Focal Scalp Hair Heterochromia in an Infant
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Hair heterochromia involves the presence of two different non-artifcially induced colours of hair in the same individual which can be due to either iron defciency anaemia, genetic mutations or mosaicism. We report a six-month old male infant who presented to the Department of Dermatology, Saham Hospital, Saham, Oman, in 2013 with focal scalp hair heterochromia without any detectable underlying abnormalities. Te area of heterochromia was still noticeable at a one-year follow-up.
