Primary essential cutis verticis gyrata - Case report

Abstract: Cutis verticis gyrata is characterized by excessive formation of scalp skin. It may be primary (essential and nonessential) or secondary. In the primary essential form it presents only folding skin formation on the scalp, mimicking cerebral gyri, without associated comorbidities. We report a rare case of a 28 year-old male patient with primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.

“…The condition is rare in the general population, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100 000 men and 0.026 in 100 000 women, but it is present in 0.2‐2.2% of institutionalized patients . Secondary cutis verticis gyrata reportedly occurs secondary to endocrine diseases, hereditary disorders, inflammatory cutaneous diseases, infections, benign tumors and infiltrates, and malignant tumors that cause changes in the scalp structure . Chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and fragile sites on chromosomes X, 9, and 12 have also been associated with cutis verticis gyrata…”

Surgical treatment may be provided, with the goal of improving the clinical appearance to improve quality of life.…”
