          Abstract

          Le cutis verticis gyrata (CVG), du cuir chevelu, est une maladie rare et évolutive de la peau du scalp. Elle est caractérisée par une hypertrophie et une hyperlaxité cutanée formant des plis semblables aux gyri du cortex cérébral. Nous présentons le cas d'une patiente de 21 ans atteinte de CVG primitif essentiel, ayant débuté à l’âge de 8 ans, au niveau du scalp et était d'aggravation progressive. La malade présentait une déformation du scalp avec de nombreux plis longitudinaux et transversaux. Sa demande était motivée par une gêne sociale et esthétique. Une résection chirurgicale de l'excédent cutané dans un plan transversal et longitudinal était réalisée. Le traitement de cette maladie est chirurgical, par l'excision des plis cutanés et remise en tension du scalp. Le nombre et la localisation des incisions doivent préserver la vascularisation des lambeaux de scalp et tenir compte du caractère évolutif de cette pathologie.

          Isolated cutis verticis gyrata of the glabella and nasal bridge: a case report and review of the literature.

          Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is an uncommon morphological condition of the scalp characterised by ridges and furrows resembling the surface of the brain. We present a case of secondary CVG affecting both the glabella and nasal aesthetic unit. To our knowledge, isolated CVG of the glabella has never been reported nor has extension of CVG onto the nasal aesthetic unit of the face. We also describe an association between hyper-IgE syndrome and CVG, and review this rare disorder including options for its surgical management.

            Cutis verticis gyrata secondary to acne scleroticans capitis.

            We report the case of a 35-year-old patient with secondary cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) that histologically presented as acne scleroticans capitis. Clinically, the diagnosis of acne conglobata was made. The CVG developed under systemic corticosteroid treatment of an ulcerative colitis. Corticosteroids were discontinued and a therapeutic attempt was made with isotretinoin. Although under this treatment the conglobate acne healed, the CVG remained unaltered. Dermatosurgical intervention by a scalp reduction plasty finally resulted in a marked improvement of symptoms and acceptable cosmetic outcome.
