We present frozen section as a novel method in the diagnosis of pili trianguli et canaliculi that may serve as a more time‐ and resource‐ efficient alternative to current gold‐ standard electron microscopy. In this case series, three children between ages one and four presented with blonde hair unable to be combed into place. Frozen section was performed and evaluated under light microscopy with easy visualization of the hair shaft abnormality, consistent with the diagnosis of pili trianguli et canaliculi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
