A syndrome characterized by total alopecia (hair loss), total vitíligo, and nail changes. The nail changes consist of fine pitting, associated with softness, and friability and may include horizontal splitting. The vitiligo is characterized by complete, rapid uniform loss of pigment which occurs without going through a patchy state. The entire cutaneous surface is light and translucent-appearing and is prone to burning on exposure to the sun.
