Pterygium inversum unguis (also known as "Pterygium inversus unguis," and "Ventral pterygium") is characterized by the adherence of the distal portion of the nailbed to the ventral surface of the nail plate. The condition may be present at birth or acquired, and may cause pain with manipulation of small objects, typing, and close manicuring of the nail.
