title: Telogen effluvium need not recur.
abstract: Hair loss after surgery has many causes. If the onset is acute and it lasts for several months, it is often attributed to telogen effluvium. A case is presented where hair loss occurred after a surgical procedure, but it did not recur after a subsequent procedure with a similar anesthetic.
