Three-years-old girl with low density and slow growth scalp hair that had not been cut since birth
In 1999 De Berker reported short anagen syndrome like a congenital hypotrichosis [3] and Withmore & Tausk described this syndrome in a 19years-old woman [4]
In children between 3 and 11 years old 90% of the hair are in the anagen phase
