Abstract
Full thickness total scalp avulsion injuries present a complex reconstructive challenge. Here we present a case of a 32-year-old female with an extensive full thickness scalp avulsion injury from a fishing boat engine accident that led to a unique injury pattern and loss of pericranium. This case report demonstrates the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix and split thickness skin grafting in reconstruction of full thickness scalp avulsion injuries where there is significant loss of pericranium. After this patient's reconstruction, six-month postoperative follow up demonstrated an acceptable functional and esthetic outcome.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
