Abstract

When the scalp exhibits folds and furrows resembling gyri, it is termed cutis verticis gyrata. The possible etiologies may be categorized as primary essential, primary nonessential, and secondary cutis verticis gyrata. This is based on history, physical examination, and histologic criteria with or without laboratory examinations.
