Cutis Verticis Gyrata Improved with Injected Hyaluronidase Treatments

Abstract

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a condition of excessive skin growth on the scalp leading to deep furrows and folds that resemble the gyri of the brain. There are three main categories of CVG: primary essential, primary nonessential and secondary. Primary essential is idiopathic and presents only with cutaneous alterations. Primary nonessential has cutaneous findings that can be associated with neurological or opthalmoglical pathology.
