    Author: Van Staey A, Suys E, Derumeaux L, De Raeve L, De Coninck A, Roseeuw D.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1991; 182(2):124-7. PubMed ID: 2050233.
    Abstract:
    Hair casts are small cylindrical structures, encircling individual scalp hairs but easily movable along the involved hair shafts. This hair disorder of unknown pathogenesis is only rarely mentioned in the dermatologic literature. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl, who has been treated during 2 years for pediculosis capitis. The literature about hair casts is reviewed.
