Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a benign dermatological condition characterised by excessive scalp thickening, resembling the gyri of the cerebral cortex and resistant to external pressure. Diagnosis of CVG relies primarily on clinical examination. Additional investigations are warranted to distinguish between primary and secondary forms of CVG and to rule out potential underlying local or systemic aetiologies. This article presents a case report of primary essential CVG alongside unilateral congenital conjunctival melanosis in a 23-year-old male patient.
