subject: Congenital Temporal Alopecia - Hair Restoration Can Cover It Up [print this page] The other day, at an Anaheim Mighty Ducks hockey game, I met a married couple sitting next to me whose boy had Congenital Temporal Alopecia (CTA) and underwent a hair transplant surgery. They told me he came out of the womb with a bald patchy area on his head. Growing up attending public school, the boy was quite self-conscious about his bald spot. On the playground, his schoolmates poked fun at him because of his bald spot. His parents told him to wait until the winter holidays (the time his parents had first planned to get it restored), but he couldn't stand the thought of waiting that long. So they did it during the Thanksgiving weekend. The surgery was an unqualified success. The doctor closely packed 470 follicular unit grafts onto the bald patch of his temple area. The boy was exceptionally happy about it and anticipates the final growth of his hair grafts in the next few months. Congenital Temporal Alopecia is a hair loss condition present at birth and takes the form of patchy hair loss on a child's head temple area. The bald patch can be made up of very fine hair. It's a non-scarring type of alopecia which, according to reports, responds rather positively to hair transplant surgery. Congenital Temporal Alopecia tends to happen more frequently to people who have family members with alopecia, which hints that heredity might be a factor. Also, it is a little more likely to occur in those people who have relatives with autoimmune diseases. Most people diagnosed with Congenital Temporal Alopecia are able to live normal, productive lives with the help of support groups made up of people with the same condition.
