Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin disorder characterised by thick skin folds and grooves, resembling the gyri and sulci of the cerebral cortex. It can be classified as primary essential, primary non-essential and secondary CVG. The rarity of the condition poses a challenge in the diagnosis and ultimately requires good communication between the clinician and the dermatopathologist for diagnosis. Many names have been given to the condition, including Robert-Unna syndrome, cutis verticis plicata, paquidemia verticis gyrata, cutis sulcata, cutis striata or “bulldog” scalp syndrome. To date, the treatment is still limited to plastic surgeons with excision of the folds, scalp reduction and reconstruction. In this article, we are sharing a rare case and the surgical management of a middle age gentleman with cutis verticis gyrata secondary to cerebral intradermal nevus (CIN) over his occipital scalp.

Underlying Diseases

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is an unusual morphological condition of the scalp characterized by ridges and furrows resembling the surface of the brain. Most patients have lesions on the scalp, and only a few cases with forehead lesions have been described in literature. We report an extremely rare case of secondary CVG on the forehead. A 61-year-old female patient was referred to our outpatient clinic with a large area of hypertrophic skin on the forehead. A lesion measuring 12×3 cm extended across both eyebrows, the glabella, and the forehead. The patient reported that a pruritic erythematous lesion in that region had occurred 10 years ago after she performed acupuncture on herself on the forehead several times. She had no underlying diseases and no relevant family history. We removed the entire lesion and covered the defect with a forehead advancement flap. This solved the initial aesthetic problem. Her forehead skin became flattened, and the sagging upper eyelid skin was aesthetically corrected. Pathological findings showed nodular lesions with dense collagen fibers and microvascular proliferation, supporting the diagnosis of CVG. We achieved good results through surgical treatment for the extremely rare case of CVG on the forehead.

The Brain

Cerebriform intradermal nevus is a rare disorder characterised by development of folds and furrows on the scalp, giving it a convoluted appearance resembling surface of the brain. There are two main forms of CVG, primary and secondary. Secondary form may appear at any age and is usually secondary to causes such as tumors, Cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN), neurofibromas or amyloidosis. There is high risk of development of malignant melanoma in patients of CIN presenting as CVG. Hence early diagnosis and treatment is important.

Scalp Skin

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. This case report describes a giant CVG secondary to CIN that was successfully managed with scalp expansion and surgical excision. Previously published studies are also reviewed.
