Aplasia Cutis is a rare congenital condition, defined by the absence of skin in a particular body region, it can also compromise muscle, bone and dura mater as shown in this case. It is mostly located on the scalp, where it is associated with a bone defect in 20% of cases. We will discuss the case of a female newborn, term gestation, vigorous at birth, with prenatal diagnosis of encephalocele at 36 weeks of gestational age. We observed microcephaly, bone and skin hypoplasia, encephalocele in the midline of the skull at birth. Several surgical interventions were carried out and the follow-up was made by a multidisciplinary team, with good evolution.
