Abstract:
Postoperative pressure alopecia is a rare complication whose incidence is positively correlated with the duration of surgery. Here we showed a case about pressure alopecia one month after a lengthy operation. The patient suffered for the hair loss over her occiput measuring about 3 × 4 cm. This case reminds us that primary prevention of pressure alopecia is need to be emphasized, as this can minimize unnecessary distress to patients. We should pay attention to this kind of intraoperative complication, because it is entirely possible to prevent it from occurring through our practice.
