Book Description

A Glance at “Cutis Verticis Gyrate” a.k.a. “Bulldog” Scalp Syndrome. Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG), is a quaint benign cutaneous disorder that is characterized by convoluted folds and deep furrows of the scalp that mimic cerebral sulci and gyri. It was initially reported in the medical literature in 1837 by Alibert. In context with the subsequent classification by several researchers it is strived to describe the brief history for the enthusiastic medicos. In 1984, the classification system was further broken down into: · Primary essential, · Primary non-essential, and · Secondary CVG. Thus, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to review the Aetiology, Presentation, Workup, Management, Diagnosis etc. of cutis verticis gyrate along with plenty of illustrations for better understanding. …Dr. H.
