"Road-Dividing Line"-Like Pigmentation of Hair as a Diagnostic Clue for Griscelli Syndrome.

We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with physical and psychomotor retardation, acquired microcephaly, and history of recurrent infections. Dermoscopic and microscopic hair examination revealed a "road-dividing line"-like pigmentation of hair shafts. The combination of history, clinical findings, and hair examination led to the diagnosis of Griscelli syndrome type II. The picture of "road-dividing line" on hair microscopic and dermoscopic examination is highly characteristic for Griscelli syndrome, and in this framework, dermatologic examination may be of high importance for the diagnosis.
