What is Onychatrophia also known as?

Wasting away of the nail
Yellow nails
Inflammation of the nail matrix
Convex nails

The correct answer is: Wasting away of the nail

Onychatrophia, also known as atrophy of the nail, is a condition where the nail appears shriveled or withered. This can be caused by various factors such as infections, trauma, or circulatory problems. Option B (yellow nails) and option D (convex nails) are not correct because they do not specifically refer to the wasting away of the nail. Option C (inflammation of the nail matrix) is incorrect because while it may cause changes in the appearance of the nail, it is not the same as atrophy or wasting away.
