title: Atrophic alopecia in the Hallermann-Strieff syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of the Hallermann-Strieff syndrome with focal scalp atrophy and associated patchy hair loss. Cases of the Hallermann-Strieff syndrome (a branchial arch syndrome) often present with ocular abnormalities in infancy but they also show a number of other abnormalities including a characteristic facial appearance, proportionate dwarfism, cutaneous atrophy, hypotrichosis and dental anomalies.
