Psoriasis shows specific capillary alterations reflecting typical histopathological changes. <i>Objective:<\/i> To compare capillary morphology, distribution and density in psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp for differential diagnosis. <i>Methods:<\/i> VCP was performed on histology-confirmed scalp lesions of 30 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis, 30 age- and sex-matched patients with seborrheic dermatitis and 30 healthy subjects. The morphology, mean density per mm<sup>2<\/sup> and mean diameter of capillary loops was measured. <i>Results:<\/i> Scalp psoriasis exhibited homogeneously tortuous and dilated capillaries (bushy pattern), with a 73 \u00b1 17 \u00b5m (mean \u00b1 standard deviation) diameter of capillary bushes. In contrast, scalp seborrheic dermatitis presented a multiform pattern, with mildly tortuous capillary loops and isolated dilated capillaries, but a substantial preservation of local microangioarchitecture. Mean diameter of capillary bush was significantly lower (27 \u00b1 4 \u00b5m; p < 0.001) and similar to that of the scalp of healthy subjects (21 \u00b1 5 \u00b5m). Capillary loop density was similar in patients with psoriasis (23 \u00b1 5\/mm<sup>2<\/sup>) seborrheic dermatitis (24 \u00b1 2\/mm<sup>2<\/sup>) and healthy scalp skin (24 \u00b1 3\/mm<sup>2<\/sup>). <i>Conclusion:<\/i> VCP could be a useful noninvasive approach for differentiating between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, especially when the scalp is the only affected site.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000096908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,22]],"date-time":"2006-12-22T23:18:32Z","timestamp":1166829512000},"page":"21-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Videocapillaroscopy in the Differential Diagnosis between Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis of the Scalp"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"214","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Rosina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Rosa","family":"Zamperetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Giovannini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giampiero","family":"Girolomoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2230.1999.00537.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.berh.2005.01.001"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.jaad.2005.10.009"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000057888"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2133.1992.tb11815.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2F1523-1747.ep12485169"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.1997.d01-1150.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2133.2004.06212.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2133.2005.06479.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2133.2005.06435.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000087019"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1523-1747.1998.00262.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1523-1747.2001.01316.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.2000.03544.x"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/96908","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/96908","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:58:04Z","timestamp":1745463484000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000096908"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,22]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000096908","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,22]]}}}
