Abstract
|
|
|
We present a case of onychogryphosis of both great toe nails associated with onychomycosis of all toe nails occurring in a 90-year-old female patient. She also had senile dementia.
Affected nail plates were thickened, increased in length, nd curved like the horn of a ram. The nail plates were removed surgically form the nail bed.
Direct microscopic examination revealed many hyphae with potassium hydroxide. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated from the culture in Sabouraud glucose agar media. On histopathologic examination, we found many hyphae in the nail plate.
We suggest an onychomycosis as one of the causes of onychogryphosis.
