Abstract
Linear Scleroderma en coup de Sabre (LSCS) and Parry Romberg Syndrome (PRS), subtypes of linear morphea (LM), may affect the scalp causing scarring alopecia (SA). 3 † For trichoscopic features: LSCS ( I n i = 25), PRS ( I n i = 5). 4 ‡ For histopathological findings: LSCS ( I n i = 15), PRS ( I n i = 3). According to the literature, LSCS usually presents with a linear patch of alopecia on the frontal scalp, whereas PRS, also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy, causes atrophy of the subcutaneous tissues with minimal overlying cutaneous changes.1 To date, data about LM are limited, especially involving the scalp.
