Abstract
A case of a 2-month-old infant who had an extremely rare congenital nail deformity of the right little finger was reported. The nail looked like a clam, wrapping three-quarters of the distal phalanx. A neurovascular pedicle island flap was transposed to reconstruct the pulp and lateral nail fold with good results. Early surgery is justifiable to avoid growth disturbance of the fingertip.
