Abstract
Today with the development of high-resolution linear transducers, ultrasound of nail has gained relevance l in the characterization of traumatic injuries, tumor and infectious, providing useful information for clinical management, surgical treatment and monitoring of the same. In this article we do a general description of the anatomy and pathology of the nail with emphasis on sonographic presentation. All cases presented correspond to outpatient patients evaluated at our institution, who had been practicing ultrasound of ungueal apparatus with high-resolution linear transducer with clinic pathologic correlation of images obtained.
