ABSTRACT

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital disorder characterised by localised absence of skin at birth, most commonly affecting the scalp. It usually presents as a solitary lesion, but can be multiple or associated with several malformation syndromes. Here, we report a case of a neonate with a well-demarcated scalp defect, highlighting its clinical features and management.
