Abstract
An abnormal effect of neurohormones and neuropep-tides has been speculated to explain the chronic melano-cyte loss in vitiligo, especially in SV due to its distribution, which can fit dermatomes. The neural/neurogenic theory is supported by clinical, histological, ultrastructural, experimental, pathophysiological, and biochemical arguments. Those will be reviewed with emphasis on SV. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
