Abstract :
This study aimed to describe a case of aplasia cutis congenita with epidermolysis bullosa, as only a few reports of Bart’s
syndrome exist in the medical literature. Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare dermatological condition characterized
by the absence of skin. It has no proven etiology and hence stills remains a mystery for the dermatologist of the modern
world. The most common body part affected is the scalp. ACC with epidermolysis bullosa (Bart’s syndrome) is a very
rare variant of aplasia cutis.
