Abstract

There are only a few case reports about nail changes due to valproic acid in the literature despite its widespread use. We present a 50-year-old man who had onycholysis, roughness of the nail surface and brownish-yellow discoloration of both fingernails and toenails, which remarkably ameliorated upon cessation of valproic acid.
