“…However, surgical closure of a large defect in small neonates may be a serious undertaking with potential risks of hemorrhage, impaired wound healing, and donor site morbidity [5,6,9]. In our patient, we used a complex pattern of skin flaps in combination with a temporary skin substitute, which was later replaced by a full-thickness skin graft.…”

“…There exist 4 main theories: (1) early fetal vascular disruption, (2) embryonic developmental error such as incomplete closure of the outermost ectodermal portion of the neural tube, (3) amniotic adhesions, and (4) intrauterine external compression. None of these causes, except heredity, in patients with AOS, however, has been proven to be the etiologic factor [4][5][6]. Screening of the affected family has been recommended to identify familial forms of the disease with autosomal-dominant genetic transmission [7].…”

“…There also is marked absence of elastic fibers. 4,5 Although the presented case is an example of a scalp lesion without bony involvement, 20 percent of infants with aplasia cutis congenita will also have osseous defects. 6 Exposure of the dura matter, which is often attenuated or absent, may expose the sagittal sinus as well.…”

Congenital defects of the scalp and skull present a challenge for care providers because of a combination of their rarity and the magnitude of potential morbidity. Recent advancements in autogenous and alloplastic cranioplasty and scalp reconstruction techniques argue for a comprehensive consideration of this problem. This article (1) reviews the causes of congenital scalp and calvarial defects; (2) proposes a classification system based on defect type, similar to the tumor-node-metastasis classification, in that defect location, defect size, and extent of neuromeningeal involvement are the critical variables; and (3) presents algorithms for care based on the defect classification. A set of management principles on which treatment plans can be based for these unique problems is provided.

We describe an infant with aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp complicated by sagittal sinus hemorrhage. The defect was successfully managed by primary closure with scalp flaps. The literature on aplasia cutis congenita is reviewed, including etiology, genetic transmission, associated anomalies, and options for management. The potentially fatal outcome highlights the importance of early surgical coverage of the exposed superior sagittal sinus to avoid life-threatening hemorrhage and other complications.

Aplasia Cutis Congenita of the Scalp

Abstract: Literature on CCA will facilitate physicians to make the right diagnosis. Further accumulation of detailed descriptions on CCA patients may contribute to recognition of etiopathogenesis of this anomaly.
