Pterygium inversum unguis or ventral pterygium is characterized by the adherence of the distal portion of the nailbed to the ventral surface of the nail plate.[3] 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.[3]
