| description | Background: Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a condition of excessive skin growth and excessive laxity of the scalp, leading to deep furrows and folds that resemble the gyri and outer surface of the brain. Approaches for the treatment of CVG range from conservative to surgical, the last one being the predominant way of treating the condition, however, the surgery proposed in the recent literature may not be suitable for patients who desire a less invasive approach. Aim: To report the first case of autologous fat injection as a novel treatment option for primary essential CVG. Methods: A 51 -year-old Colombian man, with no medical records was treated with a scalp injection of autologous fat, with previous failed treatment with pressure therapy apply directly on skin is described. Results: A successful cosmetic improvement and a less invasive approach was reached after two sessions of autologous fat grafting. Conclusion: This method allowed excellent cosmetic outcomes while preserving the option of subsequent surgical repair in refractory cases. |
