Abstract

Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome (LAHS), a type of non-scarring alopecia, is a rare condition, characterized by failure in one of the phases of hair growth, it is benign and, in most cases, self-limiting. LAHS clinically presents as thin, sparse and dull threads, more common in the occipital region, which can be easily removed from the scalp painlessly. Although "5 spontaneous resolution of this condition commonly occurs, there is a small number of patients in whom this disorder tends to persist into adulthood. It is a descriptive study, with qualitative analysis of data present in medical records, whose objective is to suggest a new treatment association that provided satisfactory results and is not present in the literature. For this, we report the case of a 14-year-old female patient, complaining of hair loss, with signs of parietooccipital rarefaction in the scalp. After investigation with complementary exams, a diagnosis of LAHS was obtained and treatment was instituted with the association of oral Minoxidil (OM) and Silicon supplement (Si). It is expected, with this work, to contribute to the description of one more case of the mentioned syndrome and to demonstrate the success of a therapeutic option for the cases that need it.
