The prevalence of nail abnormalities in psoriasis is reported to be between 50 and 90% of affected adults. These include pitting, nail discoloration, onycholysis and subungual hyperkeratosis. Although nail changes may be associated with neurological disease, there are no previous reports of psoriatic nail changes following cerebrovascular events. We report the first case to our knowledge of unilateral subungual hyperkeratosis in a psoriatic patient which developed following a cerebrovascular event.

Objectives: Our aim was to provide dermatologists with useful clues for prompt recognition and diagnosis of nail psoriasis (NPso) and nail lichen planus (NLP) in people with SoC.

Background: Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail disease with a prevalence rate up to 14% in North America and 24% in Europe. The current treatment paradigm is limited by a high risk of disease recurrence, safety concerns for oral agents, and a low likelihood of patients achieving both clinical improvement and mycological cure. Recent advances in device-based treatments have allowed for the direct targeting of the infection site that bypasses drug resistance mechanisms while minimizing systemic side-effects.
