 Nail  disorders  are  acquired  or  congenital. Nail  trauma  is  a  major  cause  of  acquired disorders  like  discolouration, splitting, dystrophy and deformity of the affected nail. A dislodging or split of the nail matrix can result in polynychia or multiple nails.. Here we present a case of a 13 year old who had a left thumbnail trauma at the age of 5 years, after which she developed two nails on the affected finger.. We are reporting this case for its interesting morphology and rare occurrence.
