Abstract

A 53-year-old woman presented with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp 6 weeks after a bifrontal skin flap and right frontal craniotomy had been performed for removal of a suprasellar meningioma. Although some authors consider that acute local trauma is a precipitating factor for this condition, we believe that this is the first reported case following a neurosurgical procedure.
