Abstract
Lichen striatus is a common childhood eruption, but only rare reports link cutaneous manifestions and onychodystrophy. We report a case of l ichen striatus and onychodystrophy in a 12-year-old girl, only the eig hth such patient in the dermatologic literature. Nail changes may prec ede the rash of lichen striatus and should be considered in the differ ential diagnosis of isolated nail dystrophy in children.
