Abstract

Cutis verticis gyrata is a scalp condition where there are convoluted folds that resemble the surface of the cerebral cortex. It is classified by the underlying etiology, as primary essential, primary non-essential and secondary. The primary nonessential type is associated with neuropsychiatric disorder, whereas the primary essential form does not present any other associated abnormalities. We present a rare case of a 25 year-old female patient with primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.

Keywords: Cutis Verticis Gyrata; Scalp Dermatosis; Hypertrophy
