Granulation tissue was present in the dermis with fibroblasts and capillaries arranged perpendicular to the skin surface. Hair follicles were present in the biopsy. Some degree of spongiosis was evident. [cags.org.ae]

Aplasia cutis Congenita (ACC) is an uncommon disorder presented at birth [1], which commonly involves the skin of the scalpand other areas, but may involve the subcutaneous tissue, bone, and duramater [2]. [imagejournals.org]

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

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 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]

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]

Further studies are needed in order to investigate the etiology of the disease and to evaluate treatment methods. Keywords: Aplasia cutis congenital; Lower limbs; Malformation; Treatment. [rbcp.org.br]

Conclusions:Multiple treatment regimens exist for ACC, but there is no consensus on treatment strategies. Conservative treatment has been described and advocated, but many authors have emphasized the disadvantages of this treatment modality. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

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]

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]

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 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]

Evers et al. (1995) provided a list of disorders associated with aplasia cutis congenita, classified according to etiology. [malacards.org]

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]

The etiology of ACC is likely multifactorial. [statpearls.com]

The exact etiology is still unknown, and histopathologic features are poorly defined. Methods A series of 10 cases from nine patients was analyzed to characterize the clinicopathologic spectrum and age-related changes of ACC of the scalp. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

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]
