Cutis verticis gyrata and epilepsy, is there a typical patient?: A case report

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin condition characterized by thickened, folded scalp skin, which can occasionally coexist with neurological disorders such as epilepsy without typical known causes. It is important to be open to new explanations for this relationship. While certain characteristics are often seen in affected patients, the underlying reasons for this association remain unclear. Physicians should be aware that CVG could serve as an early indication of epilepsy or other neurological disorders. We report a case of a 15-year-old Saudi male with a history of epilepsy, who presented with progressive scalp swelling leading to the development of CVG.
