Repousse spectaculaire d´une pelade décalvante traitée par triamcinolone en intramusculaire et stimulateur folliculaire topique

Abstract

We here report the case of a 42-year-old female patient presenting with alopecia areata that had progressed over the past month. The anamnesis revealed no psychoaffective irritative stimulus or atopy. Clinical examination was normal. The patient weighed 65kg with a BMI of 22kg/m². Haemoglobin level was 12.5g/dL. Fasting blood glucose was 1.01g/L, TSHus and T4L were normal; 0.23 pmol/L and 13.32 pmol/L, respectively. Anti-nuclear and Anti-electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) antibodies were negative. The diagnosis of isolated alopecia areata was retained. The patient was treated with intramuscular injections of 80mg of triamcinolone every ten days for 4 sessions (total dose of 320mg). Hair loss treatment topical spray was applied (12 sprays a day). Patients's outcome was marked by a spectacular regrowth of hair assessed at day 30 and day 60.
