Abstract
- Heterochromia is the presence of more than one distinct color of hair in a person. It is known to be related with genetic background, but definite cause of this disorder has not been found. Several cases of heterochromia of the scalp hair have been reported and each case has different pattern, distribution and course. We report a 6-month-old infant with acquired transient heterochromia of the scalp hair who has unusual pattern and course different from previously reported case.
