psoriasis of the nails. subungualand ungual changes. the changes in the nail plate correspond to focal parakeratotic keratinizing plaques which erupt during outgrowth and give the typical picture of "psoriatic spots or dimples". whitish lifted nail area due to subungual onycholysis.
Psoriasis of the nails: circumscribed damage to the nail root with alteration of the cuticle, marked by arrows and crossbars. Oval circles around an onycholysis area. The marked crossbars denote so-called Beau-Reilsche transverse furrows.
Psoriasis of the nails: pronounced subungual psoriasis (oil stain), recognizable by a translucent discoloration of the nail plate, which is caused by parakeratotic keratinization.
psoriasis of the nails. severe onychodystrophy with wave-like transverse ligament with simultaneous psoriatic attack of the nail wall (paronychium). missing eponychium (cuticle). partially crumbly nail matrix on the nail surface as well as on the distal edge. no pain symptoms.
psoriasis of the nails. severe onychodystrophy with wave-like transverse ligament with simultaneous psoriatic attack of the nail wall (paronychium). completely missing eponychium (cuticle). partially crumbly nail matrix on the nail surface as well as on the distal edge. no pain symptoms.
Psoriasis of the nails. lifting of the integrity of the nail plate, instead crumbly nail material. thickening of the nail plate in places as well as splintering in the distal area.
psoriasis of the nails: bilateral nail dystrophy in periungual psoriatic attack of the huat. cuticles only partially present (right thumbnail). lunalae enlarged. numerous transverse grooves.
psoriasis of the nails (detailed picture of the left thumb). lifting of the integrity of the nail plate. thickening of the nail plate in places and onycholysis in the distal area.
Psoriasis of the nails. approx. 4 x 5 mm oil stain on the distal nail matrix near the inflamed nail bed of a 51-year-old patient with psoriasis vulgaris since 15 years. Additional findings show some small rhagades in the area of the nail bed. Wide distal onycholysis.
Psoriasis of the nails. single (only on the thumb), complete, crumbly onychodystrophy (psoriatic crumb nail). massive swelling and redness of the whole thumb, infestation of the joints in the ray (so-called sausage fingers).
Psoriasis of the nails: psoriatic onychodystrophy in a 51-year-old patient with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriasis arthropatica in advanced stage known for 15 years. The nail matrix appears altogether very crumbly and dystrophic. The nail plate is proximally incompletely formed, also at the distal end.
Psoriasis of the nails: periungual, chronic stationary (little exudative) psoriasis with psoriatic onychopathy, here covered with an artificial nail. hyperkeratotic eponychium.
