  • Title: Technique for Management of Aplasia Cutis Congenita of the Scalp With a Skin Allograft.
    Author: Lonie S, Phua Y, Burge J.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2016 Jun; 27(4):1049-50. PubMed ID: 27171959.
    Abstract:
    Aplasia cutis congenital is a rare condition presenting with localized or widespread congenital absence of skin, most commonly affecting the scalp. Its management remains controversial due to risks associated with both conservative and surgical approaches. The authors report a new technique to manage a large area of aplasia cutis congenital on a newborn's scalp, initially 5.5 cm × 6 cm, with a single skin allograft application. This is a simple procedure, which can be performed on a ward without need for anaesthetic and led to complete epithelialization of the skin defect.
