  • Title: Retronychia: a rare cause of chronic paronychia.
    Author: Zaraa I, Kort R, Mokni M, Ben Osman A.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2012 Jun 15; 18(6):9. PubMed ID: 22747933.
    Abstract:
    Retronychia, described in 1999, is a rare entity of ingrown toenails. Embedding of the nail into the proximal nail fold (PNF) leads to chronic inflammatory changes. Herein, we report a new case that exhibited persistent paronychia in a 23-year-old woman. Retronychia usually does not recur once treated with avulsion. It should be suspected in the event of chronic proximal paronychia.
