OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to describe and classify the different types of aplasia cutis using dermatological Doppler ultrasound, in an imaging diagnostics service. To demonstrate the ultrasound signs and different presentations of the pathology.

ABSTRACT
Aplasia cutis is a congenital anomaly characterized by the focal absence of one or more layers of the skin and, at times, underlying tissues such as bone or dura mater. It has an incidence of 3 in every 10,000 live births, and its etiology is unknown.
Its most frequent location is the scalp, although it can affect other parts of the body and be multifocal. Ultrasound and Doppler examination, using high-frequency probes, objectively assess the anatomical involvement and potential complications.

CONCLUSION
Given the clinical suspicion of aplasia cutis, ultrasound and Doppler imaging are valuable for diagnosis and monitoring complications. Read More
