Ophthalmic Genet. 1994 Sep-Dec;15(3-4):141-3. doi: 10.3109/13816819409057841.

Abstract

The authors report on a healthy young boy with a bull's eye maculopathy and trichorhexis nodosa. The combination, though hitherto unreported, is not unexpected because there exists an immunologic relationship between the retinal pigment epithelium and the hair bulb.
