OBJECTIVE: To describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) and familiarize the interpreters of neuroimaging studies with its characteristic appearance and intracranial and systemic associations.
METHODS: The MRI examinations of 12 patients (7 men and 5 women; age range, 16 to 66 years; mean, 40.3 years) with CVG were retrospectively evaluated for distribution, orientation, number of folds, and the associated intracranial or calvarial abnormalities.
RESULTS: Eleven patients had bilateral involvement. The number of folds was 3 to 8 (average, 6), and the direction was anterior-posterior (longitudinal) in 9 patients. Transverse and longitudinal folds coexisted in 3 patients. The subcutaneous tissues underneath CVG were thickened in all patients, whereas skin was thickened in 7. Intracranial abnormalities identified included meningioma, schwannoma, glioma, and prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenoma. There were no skull abnormalities.
CONCLUSIONS: Cutis verticis gyrata CVG has a typical appearance on MRI characterized by scalp undulations due to thickening of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
