Abstract

Retronychia is a not well recognized condition characterized by the involvement of the proximal nail plate with nail interlocking, inflammation of the nail fold, appearance of granulation tissue and presence of overlapping nail plates that thicken the proximal part of the nail plate and interrupt its growth. It is more frequent in young women, around 25 years of age, and is associated with repeated chronic trauma and the use of inadequate footwear. The treatment of choice is total avulsion of the nail plate. Although it is a cause of chronic paronychia, its diagnosis is not always made in a timely manner, constituting a challenge in clinical practice.
