Scalping is considered a complex wound with difficult treatment, requiring early surgical intervention, reconstructive plastic surgery, and a multidisciplinary team. The reconstruction of the scalp frequently requires a combination of therapies, including temporary coverage, such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Complications of NPWT, such as bleeding, infection, and pain, have been described. However, there is no report of acute otitis externa (AOE) because of NPWT. In this article, we present an unprecedented clinical case – a female patient who developed AOE after scalping treatment with NPWT applied over the head and ear canal. We consider that it may be a result of the direct physical action of subatmospheric pressure, the presence of dressing covering the external meatus, and alteration of the bacterial population.

“…Nos casos de escalpelamentos em que há periósteo remanescente, o enxerto de pele e os retalhos pediculados são o procedimento de escolha, pois mesmo os grandes danos do couro cabeludo que afetam o periósteo podem ser cobertos com retalhos pediculados. Além do mais, os retalhos pediculados possuem baixa taxa de morbidade e alta possibilidade de substituir, com aparência semelhante, a área lesionada 6 .…”
