Abstract
Pili torti or ‘twisted hair’ is characterized by flattened hair shaft twisted through 180 degree around their long axis at irregular intervals. It is inherited or acquired hair shaft disorder with increased fragility. It may be associated with numerous dermatological and systemic conditions or may be drug-induced. An isolated pili torti case is reported which is very rare and the related literature reviewed.
