Abstract
- Congenital onychodysplasia of the index fingers(COIF) is a rare condition of the nails, characterized by the following : (1) congenital occurrence, (2) unilateral or bilateral index finger involvement, (3) variability in nail appearance such as anonychia, micronychia, and polyonychia, (4) possible hereditary involvement, and (5) frequently associated bone anomalies. A 7-week-old male baby with an atrial septal defect presented with micronychia of the left index finger. Roentgenogram of both hands revealed a bone defect of the left 2nd distal phalanx. To our knowledge, distal phalangeal bone defect has not been previously described in this disease. We report a case of COIF with atrial septal defect.
