Abstract
Congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy (HJMD) is characterised by early loss of the first hair growth in the first months of life followed by an incomplete regrowth resulting in congenital localised hypotrichosis associated with juvenile-onset maculopathy. It was first described in 1935 [22].
