RESUMO
Cutis verticis gyrata(CVG) is a morphologic syndrome of the scalp characterized by folds and furrows resembling the surface of brain. The primary form of cutis verticis gyrata is commonly associated with a neuropsychiatric condition and a secondary form occurs as a response of inflammatory or neoplastic process. The patient was a 1-day-old girl, who had a 15x11 cm sized, convoluted mass over whole scalp. Skin biopsy from the lesion was consistent with cerebriform intradermal nevus. The baby girl was followed up as an outpatient with monitoring of the scalp lesion for 2 years and showed improvement of folds and furrows of the lesion.

Cutis verticis gyrata(CVG) is an unusual conformation of the scap characterized by the presence of folds and furrows due to thickening of the corium and the subutlneous tissue. In sccordance with etiological factor and associated findings, CVG occurs as primarary disease or secondary to a variety of local or systemic diseases. Cerebriform intradermal nevus(CIN) is a cause of CVG that can usually be recognized clinically and for a certainty histologically. We report two cases of CVG due to CIN. Not only did they have CVG due to CIN on the scalp, but also they had associated congenital nevi on the face and whole boispy, respectively.

We report a case of cerebriform intradermal nevus. a cause of cutis verticis gyrata that clinically they resembled neurofibroma and revealed histopathologic finding consistent with intradermal nevus. The patient was a 6 year-old boy, who had a 17x18cm, soft, convoluted. pigmented mass over the parietal and occipital regions. The lesion had been present since birth and had been slowly increasing in size with convolution.
