Anonychia Congenital

Anonychia is the congenital absence of nails on the fingers and toes. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic disorders, infections, injuries, and other diseases.

Anonychia can manifest itself in various forms, including complete absence of nails, partial absence of nails, or changes in the shape and color of nails. In some cases, the nails may be partially preserved, but they may be very thin and fragile.

Treatment for anonychia depends on the cause of its occurrence. If it is caused by genetic disorders, genetic counseling may be required. If it is caused by an infection or other diseases, then treatment of the underlying disease may be required.

Either way, anonychia can lead to various problems, such as difficulty performing everyday tasks such as washing dishes and laundry, as well as cosmetic problems associated with missing nails. Therefore, it is important to see a doctor when symptoms of anonychia appear to get the right treatment and avoid further problems.

Anonichia is a congenital absence of fingernails and toenails. This condition is associated with impaired development of the nail plate on the fingers and toes during embryogenesis. It appears in newborns and infants. The normal development of the nail plate during intrauterine development is formed due to the formation of the nail matrix, which folds into longitudinal and transverse plates, and the latter becomes keratinized. The matrix formation process takes about 8 weeks, after which the active formation of already formed plates begins.

In congenital anonychia, only the nail matrix is ​​absent, but the germinal zone of the matrix and the nail are preserved
