We present a four year old boy with Björnstad syndrome. The hair showed typical features of pili torti which were confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscopic evaluation. On computerized X-ray diffraction the hairs showed no abnormal constituents. There was a serious bilateral sensorineural deafness.
