phalanx, as well as thickening and decreased echogenicity of the proxi­mal nail fold in the right index. Notice the thin hypoechoic halo sur­rounding the origin of the proximal nail plate at the right side.

8.2 Congenital Diseases

8.2.1 Malalignment

8.2.1.1 Denition
Abnormal longitudinal axis of growth of the nail plate, usu­ally with lateral deviation. It can be unilateral or bilateral and most commonly affects the big toenail. Acquired and iatrogenic malalignments have been reported, most of them probably related to a chronic trauma of the nail matrix.
a
8.2.1.2 Key Sonographic Signs
• Thickening and decreased echogenicity of the nail bed that affects the nail matrix region (Fig.8.7)
• Thickening and loss of the bilaminar pattern of the nail plate that can be associated with fragmentation of part of the ventral plate.
• Secondary onychocryptosis may be present [1, 2]

ing of the nail bed. Notice the thickening of the nail plate and some hyperechoic linear fragments of the nail plate in the nail bed close and attached to the ventral plate.

8.2.2 Cystic Fibrosis

8.2.2.1 Denition
Autosomal recessive disease resulting from mutations in the cystic brosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene. The main clinical manifestations are related to lung disease, pancre­atic insufciency, and infertility, but skin and nail abnormali­ties can be present. Patients commonly show digital clubbing.
a
8.2.2.2 Key Sonographic Signs
• Increased convexity of the nail plate
• Increased thickness and decreased echogenicity of the nail bed
• Prominent hypervascularity in the nail bed (Fig. 8.8; Video8.4) [7, 8]

8.3.1 Psoriasis

8.3.1.1 Denition
Chronic autoimmune disease that commonly generates ery­thematous and scaly patches on the skin. This condition can affect the nails, tendons, entheses, joints, and bony margins.
According to literature, of psoriatic patients with nail involvement, 5% do not show cutaneous effects; of patients with psoriatic arthritis, 53–86% commonly present with nail involvement [912].

8.3.1.2 Key Sonographic Signs
The following ultrasonographic signs show variable degrees of involvement of the nail from early to late stages; however, these or part of these signs could appear concomitantly in the same nail. Besides, the ngernails and toenails of the same patient can differ in their degree of affection. Moreover, the sonographic signs of nail involvement in psoriasis can vary over time according to the progression of the disease and the treatment of the patient. The following includes the most commonly found sonographic signs (Figs. 8.9, 8.10, 8.11,
8.12, and 8.13; Video 8.5) [1, 2, 912]:
• Thickening of the nail bed (increased distance between the ventral plate and the bony margin of the distal phalanx)
• Loss of denition of the ventral plate
• Hyperechoic focal involvement of the ventral plate (can be subclinical)
• Thickening, irregularities, and undulation of one or both nail plates, commonly in late phases
• Increased blood ow in the nail bed (sign of activity):
tends to affect the proximal nail bed
– Total involvement of the nail bed: Hypervascularity
affects the whole nail bed.
