  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Congenital defect of the skin (Aplasia cutis congenita) is one of the most rare and interesting abnormalities. It occurs most commonly in the scalp and appears as a small ulcerative area of skin at the vertex according to foreign reports, however, in Japan all but three cases (86%) have this skin defect on the trunk or limbs.

The combined osteocutaneous defect of the head, on the other hand, is extremely rare. The first case was reported by C. M. Billiard in 1828. In 1956 Conway and Jonson reported the data in 22 collected cases and in two additional cases of their own. In Iapan, however, there has been until now no such sase, and our case seems to be the first one.

A newborn boy, two days old, was referred to our Yokohama City University Hospital on November 24, 1970. He was born as a full term baby, weighing 3250 g., after an uneventful pregnancy. At the delivery he failed to breathe, but recovered soon after the resuscitation. At birth a family obste-trician found a punched-out, oval shaped (2.2 × 3.0 cm in size), osteocutaneous defect involving the midline of the suboccipital region. On admission to our University Hospital inflammatory changes were noted at the ulcerative area and cerebellum was partly seen through a thin half-transparent membrane. Emergency operation was carried out and good results were obtained by rotating scalp flaps over the defect and using antbiotics.
