TLDR Hair loss due to a repaired brain bulge was successfully treated using a tissue expansion technique.
The document from May 2018 discussed a case of partial scalp alopecia, a common issue that can lead to significant social and psychological problems. The alopecia was secondary to a repaired occipital encephalocele. The case was successfully treated using a tissue expansion technique, which is a surgical alternative for managing areas of alopecia. This technique, although not new, proved effective in this particular case.
