  • Title: [Woolly hair. Apropos of 5 cases].
    Author: Rodríguez Pichardo A, Moreno Giménez JC, Camacho F, Ferrando J, Mascaró JM.
    Journal: Med Cutan Ibero Lat Am; 1983; 11(6):393-8. PubMed ID: 6366396.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of Woolly hair, three generalised, and two localised are reported. On the first two, we carried out trichogrammes which were studied with polarized light, and on all five, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The data obtained coincided with previous descriptions (Pseudomonilethrix images, Pili torti, Trichorrhexis nodosa, reduced hair diameter, oval section following transversal cut, and a wavy-line disposition), although we emphasize the smaller number of layers of cuticle cells following the transversal cut, and the presence of Trichonodosis, not previously refered.
