Muoki, A.; Gatinu, B. W. & Mutiso, V. M.
Abstract
Aplasia cutis congenita is a birth defect characterised by absence of skin and, in some cases, the
subcutaneous tissues. This is a case report of the initial conservative management of a neonate in a
rural hospital who presented with aplasia cutis congenita involving the trunk and the lower limbs.
The literature is reviewed and the case discussed.
