Zusammenfassung

Nagelveränderungen sind bei Erwachsenen häufig, bei Kindern jedoch relativ selten. Dennoch gibt es bestimmte Nagelveränderungen, die insbesondere im Kindesalter vorkommen. So sind bei Kleinkindern häufig eingewachsene Nägel, Onychoschisis, angeborener Schiefstand des Großzehennagels sowie psoriasiforme Nageldystrophien zu beobachten, bei Schulkindern das Syndrom des eingewachsenen Nagels, Nagelartefakte, periunguale Warzen bzw. Fibrome, Trachyonychie sowie Nagelmykosen. Konnatale Nagelveränderungen können isoliert oder in Verbindung mit anderen Symptomen auftreten. Erworbene Nagelveränderungen hingegen entstehen durch Infektionen, Traumata, Tumoren, bei Hautkrankheiten bzw. Allgemeinkrankheiten oder auch spontan.

Abstract

Nail changes occur frequently in adults, but are relatively rare in children. There are, however, certain nail changes that emerge particularly during childhood. Ingrown nails, onychoschizia, congenital slanted alignment of the large toenail, and psoriasiform nail dystrophies can be frequently observed in toddlers and in schoolchildren the syndrome of an ingrown nail, nail artifacts, periungual warts or fibromas, trachyonychia, and nail mycoses. Connatal nail changes can appear as isolated events or together with other symptoms whereas acquired nail changes are caused by infections, traumatic injuries, or tumors, in conjunction with skin diseases or general illnesses, or even develop spontaneously.
