Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of a patch of skin since birth. It may lead to life threatening complications at times.

The neonate was resuscitated immediately followed by closure of the superior sagittal sinus and flap coverage to the defect as a life saving procedure.
