Abstract

Aïnhum, also known as dactylosis spontanea, is a rare dermatological disease that most frequently affects men of African origin, characterized by a fibrous constrictive band that develops preferentially at the base of the 5th toe. The natural evolution of aïnhum can be described in four different stages, ranging from a simple fibrous band to self-amputation of the toe. The classic distinction is between "true" aïnhum of unknown cause, which would only affect people of African descent, and pseudo-aïnhum, which follows various causes. We present a case of aïnhum, at stage 2 of the pathology, treated with a Z-plasty on the 5th toe. The diagnosis is clinical, and the prognosis after early surgical treatment is favourable.
