  • Title: The uncombable hair syndrome.
    Author: Zegpi M, Roa I.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1987 Aug; 111(8):754-5. PubMed ID: 3632290.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of "uncombable hair syndrome" that occurred in a boy who had no other abnormalities. The diagnosis was clinically suspected and confirmed by examination of the scalp hair, which was treated with a bath of gold. Scanning electron microscopy was used for examination. The main defect of the hair was a longitudinal, canalicular depression in one side. The same defect was demonstrated by light microscopy in the transverse cut of the hair embedded in epoxy resin.
