Article Abstract
Tissue expansion is in widespread use for the reconstruction of congenital and acquired defects. Complications of tissue expansion are well documented, the most common being infection or extrusion of the expander. Although the complications associated with scalp tissue expansion are similar to those experienced elsewhere in the body, site-specific complications can occur. These include bone thinning and erosion of the cranial vault. In this study, we report an unusual case of multiple osteophyte formation beneath a scalp tissue expander, resulting in its rupture and necessitating removal.

Scalp masses are common scalp lesions, most of which are benign, with a small proportion being malignant. Scalp sarcomas constitute one category of malignant tumors, primarily including fibrosarcoma, liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. Among these, scalp leiomyosarcoma is exceedingly rare.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has become a leading technique in hair transplantation, yet optimal management of the donor area remains a clinical challenge. This systematic review analyzes intraoperative and postoperative interventions applied to the donor area in FUE hair transplantation, with a focus on both clinical outcomes and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in tissue repair, inflammatory response, and regenerative processes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and EMBASE (January 2000-June 2025), identifying clinical studies that evaluated donor area treatments and reported outcomes related to healing, inflammation, infection, and patient satisfaction.

We present two cases highlighting novel prenatal ultrasound findings in atretic cephalocele (AC) using high-resolution ultrasound and microvascular flow imaging. This report includes the first prenatal ultrasound demonstration of key diagnostic AC features: superior sagittal sinus fenestration, observed in the parietal case, and a fibrous dural stalk, identified in both parietal and occipital cases. Both fetuses presented with a small midline scalp lesion, internal echoes, and an underlying bony defect without brain tissue herniation.

Introduction: Neurologic complications, including seizures, are common in pediatric patients undergoing heart surgery, especially those requiring postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), requiring prompt, vigilant postoperative monitoring. Prolonged EEG monitoring in critically ill children presents a risk of scalp/pressure injuries. The skin's sensitivity to microcirculatory changes can also provide valuable insights into the patient's overall tissue perfusion, making it a critical component in the management of these vulnerable patients.
