An extremely rare case of primary cutis verticis gyrata: A comprehensive report in a female patient

Rare case of primary essential cutis verticis gyrata

Abstract

Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) is an unusual scalp condition characterized by excessive skin growth, resulting in prominent folds and furrows that resemble the cerebral gyri of the brain cortex. The diagnosis and classification of CVG are primarily based on clinical findings. Complementary investigations are essential to rule out any potential underlying systemic or local pathologies. In this study, we present a case of Primary Essential CVG that gradually expanded across the occipital region and significantly affected the patient cosmetically. Female presentation of CVG is extremely rare in the literature; therefore, this case provides valuable insight into the presentation and management of this disorder in female patients. The primary purpose of this case report is to describe the clinical features, diagnostic process, and surgical intervention for CVG, and to contribute to the literature.
