“…Scalp defects develop due to trauma, 5 burns, 6 malignant tumours, [7][8][9] and radiation therapy 10 for malignant tumours. For patients with scalp abrasion after trauma, replantation of the avulsed scalp has been performed with excellent results, 5 whereas reconstruction of the scalp defect following resection of a malignant tumour is difficult.…”

A 53-year-old male underwent more than 10 surgical treatments over 14 years, including a simple excision and local flap transfer, after recurrences of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the head. Clinical results indicated that simple excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans should not be performed as initial treatment. Instead, free flap transplantation, which permits a wide excision and complete reconstruction, should be the first treatment option.

“…Los métodos tradicionales planteaban la reparación espontánea de la escara con curas tópicas seguida de la trepanación de la tabla externa, con la consiguiente granulación e injerto del defecto. La técnica actual más aceptada es la de aportar precozmente un colgajo bien vascularizado tras el desbridamiento, para maximizar la regeneración ósea (10,11). No obstante, está descrita la posibilidad de sufrir un secuestro óseo posteriormente (12).…”

“…En las curas posteriores no observamos tejido de granulación o viabilidad de la tabla externa o el diploe, progresando la necrosis hasta que resultó en una ventana ósea de espesor total. Creemos que el aporte de un colgajo en ese momento hubiese evitado la progresión de la necrosis (11).…”

Las lesiones eléctricas de alto voltaje son poco frecuentes en nuestro medio, pero resultan altamente mutilantes y constituyen por si mismas un criterio de ingreso del paciente en la Unidad de Grandes Quemados. Presentamos el caso clínico de una adolescente de 15 años que sufre quemaduras eléctricas de alto voltaje. Tras la resucitación y estabilización inicial, la paciente requirió 5 intervenciones quirúrgicas para el tratamiento de sus lesiones, incluyendo una amputación escápulo-humeral parcial y un colgajo bipediculado fronto-occipital. Posteriormente, realizamos una craneoplastia con una placa sintética preformada de polieteretercetona. Comentamos algunos aspectos sobre el abordaje de las lesiones eléctricas de alto voltaje, así como sobre la reconstrucción de defectos de cuero cabelludo, y el uso de terapia de presión negativa y de nuevos materiales aloplásticos en este tipo de lesiones.

Intracranial injury has been reported secondary to not only blunt and penetrating trauma but also thermal and high-voltage electrical injury. Reconstruction can be challenging, especially in the face of necrosis of large areas of the cranium. The authors present a novel case of fourth-degree thermal burn to the head caused by a rotating tire. Initial wound debridement exposed dura, prompting a dural patch and Integra® for temporary coverage. Definitive coverage was accomplished with a latissimus dorsi free flap. The injury was complicated by associated neurologic defects and seizure activity. However, management was effective, and at 1 year, the patient is alive and well.
