Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) of the scalp and variable degrees of terminal transverse limb defects. In this article, a newborn infant diagnosed as AOS for a large scalp defect, acrania, and finger malformations is presented. The patient was hospitalized and the scalp defect was successfully repaired with several surgic...

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare malformation characterized by localized congenital absence of the skin. It rarely occurs on the trunk and limbs, and can occur in isolation or as part of a heterogeneous group of syndromes. We report a case of a 4-day-old boy with a 5.6-cm- diameter tumor, with a central crust, non-indurate and no inflammatory rim; localized on the scalp and a small, atrophic h...

Agenesis of scalp is an uncommon but well-recognized clinical entity. Congenital scalp and skull defects can be either obvious or occult; over 300 cases have been reported in literature. Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is recognized as a heterogeneous disorder, all characterized by focal absence of the epidermis, dermis and sometimes the calvarium and/or dura. We present a case of ACC in an infan...

INTRODUCTION Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC), is a rare anomaly presenting with a solitary scalp lesion of skin abrasion. Lesions can be multiple and on different surfaces of the body but are mostly seen on the scalp (%70) as a solitary lesion. As it is a rare disease, we aimed to describe our case with ACC. CASE REPORT Our case was a newborn infant with a large full thickness skin and skull de...

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare skin disorder, the cause is not known but intrauterine infections, drugs, chromosomal and genetic disorders, vascular compromise and trauma have been implicated. Clinically the diagnosis is made based on physical findings indicative of intrauterine disruption of skin development. We present an eighteen hours old neonate with Aplasia cutis congenita, this ...

A two-year-old Chihuahua was presented on day 58 of pregnancy due to very marked abdominal distension. A cesarean section was performed and five normal and one clearly abnormal puppy were delivered. Examination of the abnormal puppy revealed a combination of congenital anomalies including epigastric heteropagus twinning. The autosite showed focal cranial aplasia cutis, anasarca, lissencephaly, ...

Objectives Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital condition, and it is difficult to find scientific support for optimal treatment strategies. In addition, these may vary due to defect size, tissue layers involved, contemporary malformations, and the physiologic status of the affected child. Clinical Presentation This case report describes complete skin coverage in 20 weeks and uneventful ...
