Retronychia is the nailing of the nail plate into the proximal nail fold, where there are two or more generations of superimposed nail plates under said fold. It is mainly related to local micro traumas. The diagnosis is clinical and in difficult cases the use of ultrasound is useful for confirmation and/or ruling out other pathologies. The definitive treatment is surgical avulsion of the nail plate. It is frequently underdiagnosed since its most common form of presentation is chronic paronychia that does not respond to conventional treatments; however, when it does not manifest itself in this way, as in our case, the clinical approach is difficult, which is why imaging aids can be used to allow a better approach to the pathology.
