Abstract
MESEGUER YEBRA, P. and MESEGUER YEBRA, C.. Nail shedding: onychomadesis. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.58, pp.e67-e70. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322013000200011.
Complete nail shedding (onychomadesis) in children is a rare condition and it may be a cause of concern among patient´s family and caregivers. This condition has been associated with a great number of local or systemic diseases and drug exposure, although most cases are idiopathic. We present two patients with different triggering factors of onychomadesis. Nail changes resolved spontaneously in a few weeks in both cases.
