Scalp expansion for giant cutis verticis gyrata secondary to cerebriform intradermal nevus.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is characterized by extensive formation of scalp skin that mirrors the folds of the cerebral gyri. Giant CVG secondary to cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN) has been rarely reported, and its management mainly involves surgical excision. In certain cases of giant CVG, however, surgical excision is dilemmatic.

Hyaluronidase in Dermatology: Uses Beyond Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

Hyaluronidase is mostly widely recognized for its off-label use in correction of complications of hyaluronic acid fillers. However, its utility in other aspects of dermatology is less widely acknowledged. We describe the varied uses of hyaluronidase in dermatology and the underlying evidence base for its dermatological indications.

Cutis verticis gyrata: Two cases associated with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the formation of folds in the scalp that resembles the cerebral cortex. We present two cases of CVG and intellectual disability with drug-resistant epilepsy. Recognizing CVG is necessary to provide interdisciplinary support for the treatment of comorbidities associated with this entity.

Touraine-Solente-Gole syndrome: Clinical manifestation with bilateral true eyelid ptosis.

Touraine-Solente-Gole syndrome (pachydermoperiostosis [PDP] or primary idiopathic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy [HOA]) is a rare hereditary disorder that is characterized by a triad of manifestations that consists of skin changes (pachydermia), abnormal bone and joint manifestations (periostosis and/or artritis), and digital clubbing (acropachia). Here, we report the case of 24-year-old male who presented with severe bilateral true eyelid ptosis. Physical examination revealed severe ptosis with poor function of the levator palpabrae superioris muscle, thickening of and deep grooves in facial skin (especially at the frontal region), and abnormal appearance of the scalp with accentuating folds and deep furrows (cutis verticis gyrata).

A Rare Case of Cutis Verticis Gyrata with Underlying Cerebriform Intradermal Nevus.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is an uncommon condition of the scalp known for redundant, thickened folds, which emulate the cerebral gyri of the brain. This unusual finding is catalogued as primary essential, primary non-essential, and secondary. While primary essential CVG is an isolated and idiopathic condition, primary non-essential CVG is deemed to be related to neurological, ophthalmological, or psychiatric disorders.

Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging-aided Diagnosis of Primary Essential Cutis Verticis Gyrata: A Case Report with 5-year Follow-up and Review of the Literature.

Background: Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin disease caused by overgrowth of the scalp, presenting as cerebriform folds and wrinkles. CVG can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. The primary non-essential form is often associated with neurological and ophthalmological abnormalities, while the primary essential form occurs without associated comorbidities.

Inmate carrier of cutis verticis gyrata.

The cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a clinical stigma considered to be very rare that mostly affects males. It consists of characteristic folds in the scalp, similar to cerebral convolutions, which tend to affect the parietal and occipital areas. It is considered a pachyderma of the cranial skin, and can appear at different ages for different reasons.

"Klingon headache" - a case report of mimic new daily persistent headache associated to primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.

Background: Primary essential cutis verticis gyrata is a condition that usually affects healthy subjects associated to convoluted folds and furrows formed from thickened skin of the scalp resembling cerebriform pattern.

Case: we describe a case of association between primary essential cutis verticis gyrata and new daily persistent headache.

Discussion/conclusions: In our knowledge this is the first description of new daily persistent headache associated with primary essential cutis verticis gyrata.

Neurosurgical and Scalp Reconstructive Challenges During Craniotomy in the Setting of Cutis Verticis Gyrata.

Background: Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition of the scalp in which thickening of the dermis induces rigid folds and furrows resembling the cerebral cortex. Two forms of primary CVG exist: essential, in which CVG is the only presenting problem, and nonessential, in which the scalp condition occurs along with neuropsychiatric ailments. CVG can also occur secondary to a variety of causes including inflammatory, neoplastic, and metabolic conditions or drug use.
