“…Associated findings were hydrocephaly, meningeal arteriovenous fistula, epilepsy, spasticity, primary optic nerve atrophy, corneal lipodermoid changes, cornea scleralization, cleft palate, hemangioma and nevus flammeus [8]. More recently two features have been reported as more specific or pathognomonic "hair bulbs arranged radially along hair-bearing margins" [12], and the "golf club set" on trichoscopy [3].…”

“…Membranous ACC (MACC) also described as bullous or cystic ACC is a clinical subtype of ACC, covered with a membranous or glistening surface [3,8], and appears as a flat scar. There are less than 20 cases reported in the literature [3]. A review of 17 MACC cases identified that all lesions were located on the skull with the majority on the vertex or parietal scalp, ranging in number from 1 to 7 lesions, and frequently associated with bone defects 6/17 [9].…”

Background: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of skin layers and sometimes other underlying structures, in a localized or widespread area. The exact etiopathogenesis is not yet completely understood. Membranous ACC (MACC) also described as bullous or cystic ACC is a clinical subtype of ACC, covered with a membranous or glistening surface, and appears as a flat scar. There are less than 20 cases reported in the literature. It has been proposed an abortive form of a defective closure of the neural tube. On the other hand, the trisomy 18 is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by a broad clinical spectrum and the presence of defective closure of the neural tube. Case presentation: We report on an 18-months-old Venezuelan boy, who presented on the parietal scalp a distinctive localized MACC appearing as an oval lesion covered with a membranous surface, characterized by the absence of hairs and the presence of a sharp hair collar. The karyotype in peripheral blood was 47,XY,+ 18. Conclusions: This is the second case report of ACC in trisomy 18 and reinforces the interpretation of a nonfortuitous association as well as of a defective closure of the neural tube as pathogenetic mechanism. The case highlights the importance of examining for dermatological alterations such as ACC in cases of chromosomopathy.

Is it traction or pressure? Case series of hair system-induced alopecia in six patientsDear Editor, Hair loss usually has a negative psychological impact on women. Hair systems are considered in severe cases to improve the self-esteem of patients. 1 We present a case series of alopecia secondary to continuous use of a hair system. We retrospectively collected data from patients who had visited a trichology clinic within the last 2 years and showed areas of exacerbated alopecia

Background: Membranous aplasia cutis congenita (MACC) presents at birth characterized by oval epidermis defect. Skin lesions with MACC have various clinic manifestations. In recent years, the usefulness of trichoscopy (scalp dermoscopy) has been reported for hair loss diseases. However, the dermoscopic features of MACC were mostly reported by case reports.Objectives: To summarized the obvious dermoscopic characteristics of MACC.Materials & Methods: These 56 cases met the clinical diagnostic criteria for MACC without forceps delivery complications or other birth injuries. To find the dermoscopic characteristics of MACC by summarizing 56 infants' dermoscopic pictures. Results:The dermoscopic manifestation of MACC are characterized by hair follicle openings and hair deficiency in the center of skin lesions, translucent epidermis, hair root and hair bulb arranged along the margins of skin lesion. Conclusion:The typical dermoscopic characteristics of MACC could help clinicians to early diagnose and differential diagnosis.
