Pairwise, whitish cross bands running parallel to the lunula over the nail plate. As the discolouration lies in the nail bed, they do not grow with the nail, in contrast to the Mees bands.

Occurrence/EpidemiologyThis section has been translated automatically.

E.g. in hypalbuminemia, cytostatic therapy (number of ligament structures may correspond to the number of chemotherapy cycles).

Differential diagnosisThis section has been translated automatically.

Meese cross bands.

The discoloration disappears again as the damage subsides.
