Adams –Oliver syndrome: About a case
We report the case of a newborn with aplasia cutis congenita characterized by the absence of skin in the left parietal region, superficial dilatation of the scalp veins, facial dysmorphia, limb anomalies, and severe intrauterine growth retardation. Maternal milk enabled the baby to gain weight, and dermatological treatment was performed for scarring of the vertex. Psychomotor development and stature were spectacular. This case illustrates the clinical variability of this condition and the need for multidisciplinary management.
