Amaç: Çocuklarda saç ve saçlı deri hastalıkları geniş bir yelpazede incelenir. Başlangıç yaşı ve klinik paternlerine göre ayırıcı tanıda farklı hastalıklar düşünülür. Bu çalışmada pediatrik dermatoloji (PD) polikliniğine başvuran saç-saçlı deri hastalıklarının sıklığını ve başlıca klinik özelliklerini retrospektif olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: 2011 Eylül-2013 Ağustos tarihleri arasında Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Hastanesi PD polikliniğine başvuran 18 yaş altı 2641 hastanın dosyası taranarak saç-saçlı deri hastalığı olan 159 hasta değerlendirmeye alındı. Hastaların demografik ve klinik bilgileri kaydedilerek uygun analizler yapıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların (90 kız ve 69 erkek) yaş ortalaması 9,92±5,28 (2 ay-17 yıl) idi. Tüm yaş grupları arasında en sık görülen hastalıklar seboreik dermatit, alopesi areata, tinea kapitis, telojen effluviyum ve psoriasis idi (sırasıyla, %26,4, %19,5, %13,2, %11,9 ve %11,9). Saç dökülmesi tüm hastaların %47,8'sinde mevcuttu. Saç dökülmesi analizinde saç çekme testi ve trikoskopi en sık kullanılan yöntemler iken, biyopsi en nadir kullanılan yöntemdi (%72,3, %40,9 ve %5,0). Sonuç: Saç dökülmesi kozmetik kaygılar nedeniyle her yaşta önemlidir. Pediatrik yaş grubunda en sık non-sikatrisyel akkiz alopesiler görülür. Objective: The hair and scalp diseases in children are studied in a wide range. Various diseases were considered in the differential diagnosis according to the age of onset and clinical patterns. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the frequency and main clinical features of hair and scalp diseases in patients admitted pediatric dermatology (PD) outpatient clinic. Methods: 159 patients with hair and scalp diseases which were distinguished among the records of 2641 patients under 18 years of age, who were admitted to PD outpatient clinic of Afyon Kocatepe University Hospital. The demographic and clinical data were recorded from the files and appropriate analyses were performed. Results:The mean age of patients (90 females and 69 males) were 9.92±5.28 years (2 months-17 years). Seborrheic dermatitis, alopecia areata, tinea capitis, telogen effluvium and psoriasis were the most common diseases (26.4%, 19.5%, 13.2%, 11.9% and 11.9% respectively) Hair loss was present in 47.8% of cases. Hair pull test and trichoscopy were the most common diagnostic methods in the analysis of hair loss whereas biopsy was the least common (72.3%, 40.9% and 5.0). Conclusion:Hair loss is important at all ages due to cosmetic concerns. Non-scarring acquired alopecias were the most common in pediatric age group.
