Al-month-old boy was transferred postpartum from an outside hospital. The boy weighing 3.2 kg andmeasuring 50 cm long was born after an uneventful, first pregnancy at term by caesarean section. The mother was given oral medication for a week to treat diarrhea in the fifth month of pregnancy. At birth he was found to have a huge scalp defect covered only with a transparent membrane that covered the underlying brain. The wound gradually desiccated and formed an eschar.
