Abstract
In June 1982, a 9-year-old girl sustained a total scalp avulsion including the entire right eyebrow, the upper third of the skin of the dorsum of the nose and the medial half of the left eyebrow. On both sides the temporal skin was included and in the neck a border of just 1 cm of hairbearing area was left intact. The scalp was successfully replanted. The operative procedures, the pre-operative and post-operative treatment are described and discussed. The follow-up time is 3 years and the sequelae have been found to be minimal.Keywords
