G146(P) A rare case of aplasia cutis congenita type 6

Aplasia cutis congenita is an uncommon localized or widespread congenital skin condition characterized by the absence of the skin, and occasionally underlying tissues occurs in about one every 10.000 birth mostly in the scalp as single or more than one lesion and sometimes occurs in extremities and trunk with an uncertain cause and can be associated with numerous syndromes or can be sporadic which is diagnosed clinically and usually conservatively managed but sometimes surgical intervention needed. In this literature, we present nonsyndromic newborn Malay girl normally delivered with 35 weeks gestational age with triplet skin raw areas at the vertex of the scalp with well-demarcated defect round in shape measured about 0.5 in radius covered with a noninflammatory, necrotic patch. To our knowledge, many works of literatures presented Aplasia cutis congenita at the scalp with solitary single or occasionally more than one skin defect. In contrast, in our case, we present an infrequent rare case of triplet skin defect of aplasia cutis congenita for nonsyndromic newborns.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita type VI (Barts syndrome), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital localized absence of skin, formation of blisters (epidermolysisbullosa), and nail abnormalities. In this report, we present a rare case of aplasia cutis congenita type VI (Barts syndrome) in a newborn malebaby with the absence of a skin layer over the anterior right leg, slightly below the patella (kneecap) and around the ankle joint.On the second day, the affected areas developed blisters characterizing epidermolysisbullosa.Laboratory investigationswere all normal. The patients wound was managed conservatively with dressing and topical antibiotic ointments.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare disease characterized by a local absence of skin and, in some cases, subcutaneous tissue. Most cases occur in the scalp, but the lesion can occur anywhere in the trunk and extremities. ACC is usually an isolated defect, but can also be associated with other abnormalities. Most reported cases are sporadic, with a few reports of family events. Neither pathogenesis nor etiology are clarified. In most cases, healing is spontaneous, and apart from keeping the lesion clean, no specific treatment is required. This report presents a case of ACC at the head and provides a brief review of the literature.
