Onychogryphosis (also known as "Ram's horn nails"^[1]) is a hypertrophy that may produce nails resembling claws or a ram's horn, possibly caused by trauma or peripheral vascular disorders, but most often secondary to neglect and failure to cut the nails for extended periods of time.^[2]:783-4[3] Onychogryphosis is most commonly seen in the elderly, and some recommend avulsion of the nail plate with surgical destruction of the matrix with phenol or the CO₂ laser, if the blood supply is good.^{[2]:783-4[4]:659}
