Abstract

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG), or vorticella pachyderma of the scalp, is a rare and progressive condition of the skin of the scalp and/or face. It is characterized by hypertrophy and hyperlaxity of the skin forming similar folds on the surface of the cerebral cortex [1].
These folds can cause aesthetic, social and functional discomfort (maceration, infection) [2-4].
