Introduction: Aplasia cutis congenita presents a reconstructive challenge.We report the use of a tube pedicle radial forearm flap for scalp resurfacing in a patient who previously had two failed free flaps.Case report: A young male patient with cutis here aplasia presented with a large full thickness defect of his occiput.He had multiple episodes of recurrent infections and a history of numerous surgeries as a child including tissue expansions.As 355 maybelline fit me a young adult he had two failed free flap reconstructions.
A CT angiogram failed to demonstrate any adequate bloody supply to the scalp that would be suitable for another free tissue transfer.We successfully performed a tube pedicled flap from his forearm achieving good functional and aesthetic results.Conclusion: Originally descried by Filatov, the tube pedicle flaps remains a useful salvage option in the armamentarium of modern-day reconstruction.
