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.展开更多
