Belmourida S*, Palamino H, Khallayoune M, Meziane M, Ismaili N, Benzekri L and Senouci K

The retronychia (RN) is an incomplete form of nail shedding that leads to embedding of the nail into the proximal nail fold and subsequent inflammation. It was first described by de Berker et al. 1999, "retro" meaning backwards and "onychia" nail.
We report a new case.
