Abstract

Background and Design: There are only a few studies showing the increased frequency of nuchal nevus flammeus (NNF) in patients with alopecia areata (AA) when compared to the healthy population. Due to the fact that there are no studies conducted in our country on this topic, we aimed at investigating the NNF frequency in AA cases and evaluating the association of NNF with disease duration and severity. Materials and Methods: A total of 156 patients (F/M: 59/97; age range: 3-59 years) diagnosed with alopecia areata and 200 healthy controls (F/M: 91/109; age range: 3-60 years) were enrolled in the study. The patients were evaluated for disease type, duration, severity, age of onset, nail findings, and family history. All subjects were dermatologically examined for NNF. Results: NNF was diagnosed in 27 (17%) patients with alopecia areata and in 20 (10%) controls with a statistically significant difference (p=0.049). The frequency of NNF was significantly higher in patients with longer disease duration (p=0.024). Conclusion: These results conclude that NNF is more frequent in patients with alopecia areata and the presence of NNF might indicate a poor prognosis. (Turkderm 2014; 48: 92-4)

Özet

Amaç: Alopesi areatalı (AA) hastalarda nukal nevus flammeus (NNF) sıklığının normal topluma oranla daha yüksek olduğunu gösteren az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Ülkemizde ise bu konuda daha önce yapılmış araştırma bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada AA olgularında NNF sıklığının araştırılması ve hastalık süre ve şiddeti ile NNF ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Alopesi areata tanısı alan 3-59 yaşlarında 97 erkek, 59 kadın toplam 156 hasta ve yaşları üç ila 60 arasında değişen 109 erkek, 91 kadın toplam 200 kontrol bireyi çalışma kapsamına alındı. Alopesi areatalı hastalar hastalık tipi, süresi, şiddeti, başlangıç yaşı, tırnak bulguları ve aile öyküsü açısından değerlendirildi. Tüm çalışma ve kontrol bireylerinin NNF açısından dermatolojik muayeneleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Alopesi areatalı 27 hastada (%17) ve 20 kontrol bireyinde (%10) NNF tespit edildi ve aradaki farkın anlamlı olduğu görüldü (p=0,049). Hastalık süresi uzun olgularda NNF sıklığı anlamlı ölçüde yüksekti (p=0,024). Sonuç: Alopesi areatalı hastalarda NNFye daha sık rastlandığı ve NNF varlığının kötü prognoza işaret edebileceği sonucuna varıldı. (Türk­derm 2014; 48: 92-4)
