ABSTRACT

Cutis verticis gyrata(CVG) is a descriptive term for a condition of the scalp in which deep furrows and convolutions are seen that resemble the outer surface of the cerebrum. The possible etiologies may be categorized as primary essential, primary nonessential, and secondary cutis verticis gyrata. This is based on history, physical examination, and histologic criteria with or without laboratory examinations.
