ABSTRACT

Aplasia cutis congenita is characterized by the absence of all layers of the skin and occasionally involves the bone and intracranial dura. It is a rare entity. It may be associated with a different set of abnormalities associated with congenital defects and malformations. Treatment for this injury may be conservative or surgical. We report a patient with type IV aplasia cutis associated with hydrocephalus.
