Idiopathic Cutis Verticis Gyrata in a Female.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a benign proliferation and hypertrophy involving the scalp which exhibits furrows resembling the cerebral cortex convolutions. The diagnosis of CVG is based on clinical findings. Complementary investigations are recommended to rule out local or systemic underlying disorders. Idiopathic or essential primary CVG refers to cases without obvious origin and with no other associated abnormalities. These forms affect mainly men. Herein, the authors present a new observation of an idiopathic CVG in a female, which seems to be extremely rare.
