Background & Aims: Aplasia Cutis Congenital (ACC) is the most common benign isolated defect but it can be associated with other physical anomalies or malformation and syndromes. No unifying theory can account for all lesions of ACC. Because this condition is the phenotypic result of more than one disease process it is likely that more than one mechanism is involved. Mechanisms include genetic factors, teratogens, compromised vasculature to the skin, and trauma. Frieden created a classification system for ACC consisting of 9 groups based on number and location of acc and the presence or absence of associated malformations
Materials & Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, a census method for gathering information was used. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively via EP
Results: In this study, the skin lesions of 85% were single, 65% on the scalp, 50% on the vertex, 5% on parietal, 15% on parietoocciputal,
