The Tricho-Rhion-Phalangeal Syndrome (A Case Report)

Tricho-rhion-phalangeal syndrome is characterized by the triad of slow growing, brittle hair and early loss of hair, distinctive faces which include a long philtrum and pear-shape nose, and peripheral cone shape epiphysis with brachyphalangia. Tricho-rhion-phalangeal syndrome is probably not so much uncommon. The tricho-rhion-phalangeal syndrome, however, is not well recognized to orthopaedic surgeons due to the minor finger deformities. We report a case of tricho-rhion-phalangeal syndrome with brief review of literature.
