Primary cicatricial alopecias refer to a group of rare, idiopathic, inflammatory scalp disorders that result in permanent hair loss. Primary cicatricial alopecias comprise a diverse group of inflammatory diseases and can be classified via different approaches, such as clinical presentation, histopathologic findings, or both. Primary cicatricial alopecias are rare scalp disorders. Whiting found a prevalence of 7.3% in all patients who sought advice for hair and scalp problems at the Baylor Hair Research and Treatment Center in Dallas between 1989 and 1999.

Article Synopsis
- Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a type of hair loss condition caused by lymphocytic activity, leading to various patterns of permanent hair loss.
- Trichoscopy is a crucial diagnostic tool that helps identify specific signs of LPP, aiding in the diagnosis of different types of lichenoid alopecia.
- Early recognition of trichoscopic signs is essential for timely treatment, which may help prevent the progression of LPP to irreversible scarring.

Purpose: To develop a novel grading scale for assessing conjunctival inflammation in cicatrizing conjunctivitis associated with Pemphigoid.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of digital slit-lamp images for patients with cicatricial pemphigoid in which best-quality conjunctival images for each eyelid at each photographic session was selected and anonymized. These images were subsequently prospectively assessed for inflammation severity on a scale of 0-4+ by a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist specializing in pemphigoid.
Objective: To analyze the role of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in predicting the risk of cicatricial stenosis after chemical esophageal burn.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study included 56 patients with chemical esophageal burn grade III/IV. Primary endoscopy was performed upon admission.

Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (ISS) is a rare disorder resulting in cicatricial narrowing of the airway centered at the cricoid cartilage. It almost exclusively affects Caucasian women. Endoscopic treatments such as dilatation, laser, or local injection of agents that can decrease the inflammatory and fibrotic reaction can be effective at palliating symptoms.
