Abstract
Nine patients with aplasia cutis congenita were treated in our department during the past 30 years. Of these, 1 patient died due to uncontrolled hemorrhage and 1 patient was operated on by using a pericranial flap to cover a 7 x 5-cm scalp defect with large bony involvement. After 5 years of follow-up, the skull defect closed completely by normal bone that can be palpated on examination and seen on radiographs.
