RESUMEN
Describimos el caso de una paciente con vainas peripilares por utilizar peinados a tensión tipo cola de caballo. El problema se resolvió fácilmente con el uso de lociones queratolíticas. Las vainas peripilares son una modificación estructural del cabello. Son unas masas de queratina que envuelven el tallo piloso. Instrumentos sencillos, como una lupa, pueden ayudarnos a distinguirlas de su principal diagnóstico diferencial, la Pediculosis capitis(AU)
ABSTRACT
We describe the case of a female patient with hair casts due to her hairstyle (a pulled-back ponytail). The problem was solved very easily with keratolytic lotions. Hair casts are a structural variation of the hair. They are keratin accretions encircling a segment of the hair shaft. They must be differentiated from pediculosis capitis with simple tools such as a magnifying glass(AU)
