Neonatal Occipital Alopecia Scientific Journals
Neonatal occipital alopecia, otherwise called transient
neonatal going bald and contact alopecia, is a fix of alopecia – most ordinarily of the occipital zone – that happens in early stages. This example of
neonatal alopecia was initially credited to weight or contact from lying in a prostrate position. Be that as it may, a restricted telogen exhaust all the more precisely clarifies this regular wonder. During fetal turn of events, hair follicles spread the head in a cephalo-caudal example by 18-20 weeks. The hair foundations of the frontal and parietal scalp enter telogen around 26-28 weeks. The hair underlying foundations of the occipital scalp stay in anagen until birth. Thusly a restricted telogen emanation of the occipital scalp can be acknowledged 8 after 12 weeks.In neonates, different patterns of transient hair loss have been identified.
Non-marginal occipital alopeciaor
Neonatal Occipital
Alopecia is observed in the occipital area of infants after
8-12 weeks postnatally, which was first described by Brocq in 1907,
Its shape may be linear or oval. it is thought that the condition is
not an acquired alopecia but it is a synchronized telogen effluvium after
a prolonged anagen phase which began in prenatal period.
