Abstract

The authors report the use of intraoperative tissue expansion in the treatment of a neonate with aplasia cutis congenita, a congenital defect of the scalp and skull. The case for immediate surgical intervention is presented, and intraoperative tissue expansion and cranioplasty are recommended as components of an effective surgical approach.
