Introducción:
La anoniquia congénita es una anomalía poco frecuente del desarrollo de las uñas, caracterizada por la ausencia total o parcial de las mismas desde el nacimiento. Se han descrito varios tipos de anoniquia congénita, que pueden afectar a las uñas de manos y pies de manera simétrica o asimétrica. La etiología de esta condición no está completamente comprendida, pero se ha sugerido que puede estar relacionada con factores genéticos y ambientales.
Objetivo:
Presentar un caso clínico de anoniquia congénita en un recién nacido, cuya condición se atribuye a la carga genética materna, destacandose los hallazgos clínicos y su manejo durante el embarazo y el parto, así como revisar la literatura actual sobre esta anomalía.
Materiales y método:
Se realizó una presentación de caso clínico de anoniquia congénita en el recién nacido de una paciente femenina de 26 años con antecedentes familiares de la misma condición. Se revisaron varias fuentes bibliográficas acerca de esta condición.
Resultados:
Se reporta el caso de un recién nacido a término de 37 semanas adecuado para edad gestacional el cual presenta ausencia de uñas del 1er y 5to dedo, hipoplasia bilateral del 2do, 3er y 4to dedo de ambas manos. Engrosamiento de la lámina ungueal del 1er y 3er dedo.
Conclusión:
El presente caso destaca la importancia de considerar la anoniquia congénita en pacientes con antecedentes familiares, así como la necesidad de un diagnóstico prenatal preciso. Se necesitan más estudios para comprender mejor la etiología y el manejo de esta anomalía, especialmente en casos de anoniquia congénita aislada sin otros trastornos asociados.
Introduction: Congenital anonychia is a rare anomaly of nail development, characterized by the total or partial absence of nails from birth. Several types of congenital anonychia have been described, which can affect the nails of hands and feet symmetrically or asymmetrically. The etiology of this condition is not fully understood, but it has been suggested that it may be related to genetic and environmental factors. Objective: To present a clinical case of congenital anonychia in a newborn, whose condition is attributed to maternal genetic load, highlighting the clinical findings and its management during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as reviewing the current literature on this anomaly. Materials and Method: A clinical case presentation of congenital anonychia in the newborn of a 26-year-old female patient with a family history of the same condition was conducted. Various bibliographic sources on this condition were reviewed. Results: The case of a full-term newborn at 37 weeks appropriate for gestational age is reported, presenting absence of nails on the 1st and 5th fingers, bilateral hypoplasia of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers of both hands, and thickening of the nail plate of the 1st and 3rd fingers. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering congenital anonychia in patients with a family history, as well as the need for accurate prenatal diagnosis. Further studies are needed to better understand the etiology and management of this anomaly, especially in cases of isolated congenital anonychia without other associated disorders.
