Abstract

Partial scalp alopecia is a common problem that can lead to severe social and psychological problems. Tissue expansion, although an old concept, provides a surgical alternative to manage areas of alopecia. We describe a case of alopecia secondary to repaired occipital encephalocele that was successfully treated using tissue expansion technique.
