You are correct. Anterior cervical hypertrichosis (ACH), or hairy throat syndrome, is a rare form of local hair growth at the midline of the neck. For most affected pts, this anomaly represents only an aesthetic problem that is treated by simple hair removal. However, in some cases, ACH may be a part of a more complex d/o (22.5% of reported cases). The most common associated disorders involve neurological abnormalities (mental retardation, peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy), ophthalmological disorders (optic atrophy, chorioretinal changes), hallux valgus, and dorsal hypertrichosis.
