Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rarely seen disease in which the dermis,
subdermal tissue, and extremely rarely, the bone and dura are absent. ACC
predominantly occurs sporadically, but recessive and autosomal dominant
patterns of inheritance are described as well. Morbidity and mortality vary
according to local and systemic complications. The mortality rate has been
reported as 21%. A significant number of cases are lost due to infections,
electrolyte imbalance and massive hemorrhage. The type of management has
been a subject of controversy in the literature. While some authors prefer
conservative treatment, others recommend surgical treatment. Here, we
present a female newborn with a large full thickness skin and skull defect on
the scalp who was born to consanguineous parents by spontaneous vaginal
delivery at 36 weeks’ gestation, with a birth weight of 2160 g. This rare
entity and the diverse options for its management are discussed in light of
the current literature.
