Abstract:
Congenital onychodysplasia of the index fingers (COIF) is a rare disorder characterized by various forms of nail dysplasia which are mainly limited to the index fingers. The aetiology of the disease is still a matter of debate. COIF is characterized by five criteria: congenital occurrence, unilateral or bilateral index finger involvement, variability of nail appearance, possible hereditary involvement, and frequently associated bone abnormalities. We report a case of COIF, which is associated with Dandy-Walker variant.
