✓ The management of congenital scalp and skull defects, as generally advocated, is surgical. The authors report such a case that was treated conservatively. At her 3-year follow-up review, the patient's scalp and skull defects and other associated cutaneous defects were fully reconstituted. Such a nonoperative approach, while rarely reported, emphasizes the natural course that some of these lesions may follow. The literature on aplasia cutis congenita is briefly reviewed.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the absence of a portion of skin at birth which most commonly involves the scalp and can affect the galea, the pericranium, the bone, and the dura mater. It can be an isolated condition or associated with other disorders. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> We present a case of ACC with a large defect of the scalp and the underlying bone treated with the use of Integra® Dermal regeneration template. At 5 months of follow-up, the wound is completely healed and the bony defect greatly reduced. Contraction of the area of alopecia was observed. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> Several surgical and conservative options have been described to treat this congenital condition: advanced dressing, skin graft, local flaps, free flaps, and other methods. In our case, we used Integra® Dermal templates which provide a barrier for infections, promote cellular activity for a rapid vascularization, and improve healing.

Bart’s syndrome is characterized by aplasia cutis congenita and epidermolysis bullosa. We present the case of a newborn male who developed blisters on the mucous membranes and the skin following congenital localized absence of skin. Bart’s syndrome (BS) is diagnosed clinically based on the disorder’s unique signs and symptoms but histologic evaluation of the skin can help to confirm the final diagnosis. The patient was managed conservatively with topical antibacterial ointment and wet gauze dressing. Periodic follow-up examinations showed complete healing. We emphasized that it is important to use relatively simple methods for optimal healing without the need for complex surgical interventions.

Background of the study: Aplasia cutis congenita refers to a heterogenous group of disorders in which  localized areas of skin are absent or scarred at birth. No definite etiology is available in literature. Strong genetic  predisposition is suspected.   Objectives: To overview observed cases and study the rare congenital anomaly.   Methods: Total 4 cases that reported in the department of plastic surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital included in the study. All the necessary data plotted and analyzed for purpose.   Results: None of the patients had positive family history. No parents had history of consanguinity of marriage. None of them had history teratogen exposure or taking drug during pregnancy. No positive history of maternal smoking or alcohol consumption noted. Both legs were most frequently involved 3 cases. Followed by scalp and hand. All the patients were advised for regular follow up. 1 patient died at the age of 30 days in home and lost follow up. Other patients improved after regular dressings DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v1i2.8801 BDJPS 2010; 1(2): 20-22
