Article Synopsis

- A retrospective study involving 142 patients from dermatological centers in several Latin American countries found that the majority were young males with a significant history of trauma in the nuchal area.
- The findings suggest that AKN should be considered in Hispanic populations, as those with longer-term symptoms tend to present with more severe disease stages.
