Description
An 8-year-old previously healthy girl, was referred to our clinic with a symptom of a tuft of terminal hair on the anterior neck region (figures 1 and 2). The underlying skin had no pigmentary changes. According to the parents, the localised hair had started to appear at 1 year of age and there was no history of preceding trauma, inflammation, radiation or use of topical and systemic drugs. Complete physical examination, including neurological and ophthalmological examination, did not reveal other comorbidities. Her parents were not consanguineous and the family history was negative for this disorder. Clinical features were consistent with the diagnosis of anterior cervical hypertrichosis (ACH) or hairy throat syndrome, which is a rare form of local hair growth at the midline of the neck.
