Successful Hair Transplant of Eyebrow Alopecia Areata
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alopecia areata of the eyebrows can be difficult to treat. Intralesional triamcinolone or potent topical steroids are considered the mainstay of medical therapy. This case illustrates the results of an experimental hair transplant to the eyebrows following years of modest response to intralesional triamcinolone. The aim of this study was to ascertain the benefits of a hair transplant for chronic eyebrow alopecia areata not responding to appropriate medical therapy. A hair transplant was performed with tumescent anesthesia and a total of 85 mini and micrografts placed in the right eyebrow. Followup after the hair transplant occurs every 8 weeks. The patient was free of eyebrow alopecia areata for 8 months following the initial hair transplant. Although the disease relapsed, hair growth is now manageable with intralesional cortisone injection performed six times per year. For the first time in years, this patient was given 8 months of reprieve from his eyebrow alopecia areata and is currently well-maintained on monthly intralesional cortisone which originally was of only modest benefit. The patient is pleased with the outcome. Alopecia areata des sourcils peut être difficile à traiter. L’administration intralésionnelle de triamcinolone ou de stéroïdes topiques puissants est considérée le principal traitement. Ce cas illustre les résultats d’une greffe de cheveux expérimentale sur les sourcils à la suite d’une année de faible réaction au traitement intralésionnel au triamcinolone. Établir les avantages d’une greffe de cheveux en cas d’une alopécie chronique des sourcils qui ne répond pas aux traitements médicaux. Une greffe de cheveux a été effectuée sous anesthésie locale par tumescent. Quatre-vingt cinq mini et micro greffons ont été greffés au sourcil droit. Le suivi pour la greffe de cheveux est effectué chaque huit semaines. L’alopecia areata n’a pas affecté le sourcil du patient pendant une durée de huit mois après la greffe initiale. Bien que la maladie ait repris son cours, 1’alopécie est sous contrôle au moyen d’injections intralésionnelles de cortisone six fois par année. Pour la première fois depuis des années, ce patient a eu huit mois de répit et profite à présent d’un traitement à la cortisone intralésionnelle, un traitement qui avait peu d’effets auparavant. Le patient est satisfait des résultats.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
