Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a skin condition characterized by excessive growth of the skin of the scalp, resulting in furrows and folds which are similar to the gyri of the brain cortex. CVG can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient with the primary type of CVG. The patient did not present with any cutaneous complication. His main complaint was the unaesthetic aspect of his scalp related to a psychological inferiority complex.
头皮回状过度增生(CVG)是一种皮肤病,其特征是头皮皮肤过度生长,导致出现与大脑皮质脑回相似的沟和褶皱。CVG可分为两种类型:原发性(特发性和非特发性)和继发性。我们报告一例53岁男性原发性CVG患者的病例。该患者未出现任何皮肤并发症。他的主要诉求是头皮外观不美观,这给他带来了心理上的自卑情结。
