J Pak Assoc Derma Jan ;22(2):169-71.

Monilethrix is a genetic disorder of hair shaft characterized by a beaded appearance of the hair due to periodic thinning of the shaft, resulting in hair fragility and patchy dystrophic alopecia. We hereby report a case of monilethrix in an otherwise healthy seven- year old child. Clinical rarity of this disorder prompted this communication.
