[Use of iterative expansion in the early surgical treatment of complex nevi of the head in children].
Extensive of congenital pigmented nevi to the face in an infant is an indication for early exeresis to prevent the risk of degeneration. Search for the best esthetic result has led many authors to healthy skin to a maximum, often relying on tissue expansion. ⋯ Total treatment was achieved in all patients with three or four procedures.
