    Author: Wang JC, Wei L, Xu J, Liu JF, Gui L.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2012 Jul; 23(4):e275-6. PubMed ID: 22801147.
    Abstract:
    Congenital skull defect is a rare malformation that is usually associated with congenital anomalies of the scalp and comparable lesions in the brain, spinal cord, limbs, and skeletal muscle. Most previously reported cases have described skull defects with aplasia cutis congenita and other congenital abnormalities. Very few patients with skull defects present with an intact scalp or neurofibroma. The authors report an adult patient with a rare congenital skull defect and local neurofibroma.
