DISCUSSION: ACC is an uncommon condition presented at birth. The most common presentation is solitary lesion over the scalp but in our case they are multiple. As for as etiology is concerned it is still not clear. [jemds.com]

Here, we present two cases of aplasia cutis congenita, which represent two different types of the disease. The first case presented as non-syndromic aplasia cutis congenita of scalp, and the other case presented as a part of Bart′s syndrome. [ingentaconnect.com]

• Ulcer

  This had resulted in ulceration with destruction of the basement membrane which can not be seen in the ulcer base even in the section stained with PAS. Basement membrane in normal skin adjacent to the ulcer was very thin. [cags.org.ae]

  Baby cried immediately after birth on examination we noticed 2 circular ulcerative lesions about 2*2.5cm and 1*1cm over the scalp. Base of the ulcer was intact parietal bone. There were no other anomalies. [jemds.com]

  These areas resemble ulcers or open wounds, although they are sometimes already healed at birth. Lesions most commonly occur on the top of the head (skull vertex), although they can be found on the torso or limbs. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  These areas resemble ulcers or open wounds, although they are sometimes already healed at birth. Lesions most commonly occur on the top of the head (skull vertex). [banglajol.info]

  The defects can rarely present as ulcers, which appear stamped out and have rotund stellate or elongated forms [3]. Histological features vary depending on the depth and duration of aplasia. Ulcers are seen at birth. [imagejournals.org]

• Pruritus

  After direct inoculation, the dermatophytes invade the hair follicle, resulting in acute patchy hair loss with various degrees of erythema, pruritus, and scaling ( 15 ). [frontiersin.org]

• Short Arm

  A defect in the scalp is sometimes found in cases of trisomy 13 and in about 15% of cases of deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS; 194190) (Hirschhorn et al., 1965; Fryns et al., 1973). [malacards.org]

  A genetic basis is suspected, comprising the deletion of a fragment of the short arm of chromosome 19 (19p13.3), [ 9 ] or a mutation with autosomal dominant inheritance, located on the long arms of chromosome 1 and 12 [ 10 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  Classification is based on the number and location of the lesion and modes of inheritance and associated abnormalities. 1 Cutaneous defects noted at birth may be easily confused with obstetric trauma, or from forceps or fetal scalp electrodes. [jemds.com]

  They have, thus, on occasions, been confused with bruises from suspected child abuse. [zdoc.site]

  About half of LPP cases are asymptomatic and could be confused with the more common AA as a result. The clinical features of atrophy and perifollicular scale and erythema are strongly suggestive of LPP ( 76 ). [frontiersin.org]

Pediatric workup ruled out any other malformations or genetic disorders. All patients were treated by conservative wound and skin care without complications. In one case the formation of milia has been observed - an outcome not described before. [unboundmedicine.com]

If there is any concern for underlying defects on ultrasound, further workup with MRI is warranted. [statpearls.com]

If any associations are identified, workup for a syndromic cause should be performed and genetic counseling may be appropriate depending on the diagnosis ( 96 ). For many of these conditions, there is currently no effective treatment. [frontiersin.org]

Therefore, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to avoid untoward outcomes. Management is either conservative or surgical depending on the extent of the lesions. [jemds.com]

Treatment for ACC varies depending on the condition of the infant (5), although conservative treatment is the most popular regimen. [spandidos-publications.com]

Complications are rare, but can be fatal, so early treatment must be achieved. The treatment remains controversial with no consensus between the conservative and surgical approach. [analesdepediatria.org]

Because there are only individual reports for the other forms, it is difficult to calculate a mortality rate or to give an individualized prognosis. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]

If the condition is associated with other abnormalities or malformations, the prognosis then depends on the nature and severity of the other condition(s). [3] Major complications of aplasia cutis congenita are rare, but can include hemorrhage, secondary [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Prognosis Less severe cases usually resolve within weeks to months, but alopecia persists. Underlying or associated defects may significantly affect mortality and morbidity. [orpha.net]

Prognosis The prognosis for aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is usually excellent. If the defect is small, recovery is uneventful, with gradual epithelialization and formation of a hairless, atrophic scar over several weeks. [emedicine.medscape.com]

As for as etiology is concerned it is still not clear. The proposed mechanisms include genetic factors, 6 teratogens, 7 (like antithyroid drugs), vascular compromise of the skin and trauma. [jemds.com]

Although there have been reports of familial occurrences of ACC, genetic etiology of disease is not fully understood. Both autosomal dominant and recessive modes of inheritance have been noticed in Aplasia Cutis. [cags.org.ae]

Etiology Etiology is manifold; genetic factors, teratogens, amniotic adhesion, vascular anomalies, pharmacological agents (e.g. methimazole, benzodiazepines), intrauterine trauma and infections have all been implicated. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology As previously stated, the exact pathophysiology of ACC is not well understood. [statpearls.com]

Lesions are usually non-inflammatory, well-demarcated and have a variable appearance depending on the size (0.5–10 cm), extent, depth and degree of healing and scarring.[1],[2] The various causative pathophysiological mechanisms include genetic factors [ijdvl.com]

Etiology Pathophysiology The exact pathophysiology for ACC remains a mystery. However, various theories have been proposed, including intrauterine trauma, vascular compromise, teratogens such as infectious agents, and medications. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
