title: [Treatment of alopecia areata of the eyebrow with diphenylcyclopropenone and its possible risks].
abstract: The treatment of alopecia areata (AA) with diphencyprone is well established and acknowledged. Up to now, diphencyprone has only been applied in case of AA of the capillitium. Thus, for the first time, we used this substance in the treatment of AA of the eyebrows. In consideration of the possible risks, we discuss the necessary precautions regarding the patient, as well as possible side effects.
