Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 77-year-old homeless woman having ram's horn toenails. It discusses results of her physical examination which indicated that all toenails have increased thickness, curvature and overgrowth. It states that the said case demonstrates how the long-term neglect can worsen the classic appearance of onychogryphosis, giving a ram's horn-like appearance.
