A premature baby with hair loss
2020
A circular zone of hair loss was noted in a two-weeks old male baby, born prematurely. A painful and hyperemic caput succedaneum was diagnosed postpartum. The finding was diagnosed as halo scalp ring, caused by hypoxic-ischaemic tissue damage at the edge of the caput succedaneum, resulting in temporary hair loss.
