[Takayasu's disease and post-traumatic scalp necrosis].
This relates the case of a 19-years old female suffering from Takayasu's disease, who sustained injury with extradural hematoma formation calling for emergent evacuation thereof. The immediate postoperative period in this neurosurgical patient was characterized by extended necrosis of the scalp and underlying bone, due to low blood supply to the head in connection with her disease. The authors review the main characteristics of this rare inflammatory arteriopathy, and point out to the multidisciplinary collaboration which prompted healing of the patient's loss of substance.
