VITILIGO - case report

<p>Vitiligo manifests with hypopigmentated and depigmentated plates on the skin and mucous membranes. Etiopathogenic mechanism of disease appearing is not completely explained, though there are theories explaning the appearance of the disease. Precipitant factors, especially psyhotic stress, are very important for the appearance of the disease. The<br />patients usually come because of cosmetics defects, because vitiligo areas appear mostly on uncovered parts of a body. We<br />are presenting a girl, with the first sings of the disease appeared when she was seven, located symetrically periorbitally and<br />in capilicium followed by polyosis. The beginning of the disease might be connected with a psychotic stress.</p>
