Abstract
Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is hypertrophy and folding of the skin of the scalp presenting as gyrate or cerebriform pattern. It may be primary (essential or non-essential) or secondary to a number of diseases. Chromosomal anomalies also may be seen. Treatment is symptomatic. Sometimes, surgical repair needed. We here present a case of cutis verticis gyrata in a newborn with Turner syndrome.
