Elizabeth L. Tanzi, MD; Robin L. Hornung, MD, MPH; Nanette B. Silverberg, MD

Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2002;156:188-190.

Background  Halo scalp ring is an uncommonly reported alopecia of the scalp that arises perinatally.

Objectives  To describe 5 new cases of halo scalp ring, and to review the literature.

Setting  An outpatient dermatology clinic in an urban area; patients diagnosed in a 2-year period were included in the study.

Results  Halo scalp ring is most commonly a temporary, nonscarring alopecia that occurs in patients born to primigravidas.

Conclusions  Halo scalp ring is a distinctive form of alopecia attributed to caput succedaneum. It is underreported and generally has a good prognosis. However, scarring may occur.
