Chevron nail (also known as a "Herringbone nail") is a rare transient fingernail ridge pattern seen in children, a ridge arising from the proximal nailfold and converging in a V-shaped pattern towards the midpoint distally.[1]: 786  The nail growth pattern has no known association with medical problems and tends to resolve by early adulthood.[2]
