Abstract
PURPOSE
Cutis verticis gyrata(CVG) is a morphologic syndrome, typically occurring on the scalp, characterized by varing development of permanent folds and furrows conferring a corrugated or convoluted appearance which resembles the outer surface of the cerebrum. Cutis verticis gyrata can be categorized into primary and secondary types according to various etiologic factors and associated conditions which cause disease process. METHODS: We report a case of essential primary cutis verticis gyrata in a 24-year-old male who did not have any other underlying or associated conditions.
RESULTS
After we made an incision to the galea aponeurotica of patient's scalp four times under local anesthesia, we dissected along the subapponeurotic layer and adjusted the flaps each other, and then sutured the flap.
CONCLUSION
After the operation, the clear margin disappeared and it did not recur.
