Abstract EN
Cutis verticis gyrata is a rare long lasting and progressive medical condition characterized by folds and deep furrows of the scalp giving it a cerebriform pattern.
Primary lesions mainly affect males after puberty; they are rare among females.
We report a case of cutis verticis gyrata in a middle aged Kurdish female having multiple neurofibromas, and we suggest the possibility of genetic association between both lesions, possibly related to mutations in the neurofibromatosis gene 1 or 2 (NF-1, NF-2).
