Congenital Laser-Induced Burns: A Potential Complication after Laser Photocoagulation in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancy.

CONCLUSIONS: Laser-induced burns present as asymmetric superficial non-necrotic or ulcerated lesions, with a geographic outline, which turn into scars with no retraction or contractures and no changes in pain perception or motor limitations over time. ACC lesions are bilateral and symmetric, with a regular outline, an ulcerated or necrotic appearance, a higher degree of skin involvement affecting all skin layers and, over time, they turn into scars with retraction and contractures. These differential features may help clinicians in a challenging approach to the diagnosis of congenital skin defects. PMID: 30942125 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
