Cutis Verticis Gyrata

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) refers to deep folds on the scalp that look similar to the folds of the brain. It occurs more commonly in males, and most commonly develops after puberty, but before age 30. Primary cases can be associated with neuropsychiatric disorders including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, seizures and ophthalmologic abnormalities, most commonly cataracts. Secondary cutis verticis gyrata occurs as a consequence of a number of diseases that produce changes in scalp structure.
