Introduction:
Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin disease. affecting 1 of
100,000 males and 0.026 of 100,000 females in the general population
[1] CVG is characterized by excessive growth of the skin of the
scalp or the face, forming folds of similar aspect to cerebral cortex
gyri. Three forms have been individualized: the primary form, essential
or non-essential, and the secondary form. The main complaint of the
patients is usually cosmetic. The treatment, if requested, is surgical.
We report three cases that illustrate one of each of these three
categories.
