Title: Aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp: delayed closure complicated by massive hemorrhage. Author: Glasson DW, Duncan GM. Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1985 Mar; 75(3):423-5. PubMed ID: 3975293.

Subsequent problems with scalp-flap cover eventually required split-skin grafting of the defect. The case for surgery as soon after birth as possible is reinforced.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
