dc.description.abstractA fauntail nevus is an abnormal lumbosacral hypertrichosis, and can be a marker for underlying spinal dysraphism. A fauntail is distinguished by an extensive, triangular or rhomboidal twisted patch of coarse terminal hair that is often several inches long. It is an exceptional finding, where the patient's psychological and social life is influenced negatively due to the cosmetic physical appearance. This paper reports an 18-year old Amazigh girl, with a rhomboidal twisted hair tuft with terminal hair on the lumbosacral area, which she had since birth (Congenital Hypertrichosis). There were no neurological symptoms encountered. There was no abnormality on her spine X-ray and MRI screens. Furthermore, her general blood and hormonal investigations and abdominal ultra sound were normal.en_GB
