Abstract
Twelve women were seen with multiple transverse bands on the nail plates of the great toes. The bands were separated by normal nail, and had the same contour as the distal edge of the lunula. This disorder, which is usually bilateral, results from pressure on the free edge of the nail plate when it is not trimmed short.
