Aplasia cutis congentia is a rare heterogenous group of disorder with focal absence of the skin and its underlying structures with a varying depth ranging from the epidermis to even subcutis, bone or even dura. Depending upon the onset & duration of insult during pregnancy it can present as a open wound that needs prompt treatment or a healed scar. This has a rare occurrence with upto 500 cases reported in literature. In this article, we report a rare case series of aplasia cutis congenita and review of literature.
