Abstract
Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a very rare benign disorder characterised by convoluted folds and deep furrows of the scalp that mimic cerebral sulci and gyri. Associations with other pathologies as neuropsychiatric and/or ophthalmologic disorders, secondary cases to inflammatory or neoplastic processes, as well as cases associated to genetic disorders as Turner's syndrome have been reported, but there is no literature describing an association with a congenital structural heart defect and no other underlying condition. We report a case of primary CVG in a 3-week-old female infant associated with an echocardiographic diagnosis of cor triatriatum. Other systemic examination findings and investigations were unremarkable, and the patient has normal neurodevelopment at 1 year old. Aside from the neuropsychiatric and ophthalmologic pathologies commonly associated with primary non-essential CVG, it should be noted that isolated congenital cardiac lesions are also possible, so as to increase our index of suspicion in patients with the disorder.

Ceresnie MS, Mohney L, Seale L, Fahs F, Mohammad TF. The development of non-scarring alopecia in women who wear the hijab. Arch Dermatol Res 2023; 315:2947-2949. [PMID: 37610623 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-023-02713-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Little is known about hair loss associated with wearing the hijab, a religious head covering worn by Muslim women. We performed a single-center analysis to investigate the association between various forms of non-scarring alopecia and wearing the hijab. This study included 125 patients who wore the hijab and 40 race/ethnicity-matched women who did not wear the hijab. Among the 165 total patients diagnosed between January 2015 and March 2022, 71 had telogen effluvium, 78 had female pattern hair loss, and 16 had traction alopecia. We found patients who wore the hijab had a younger mean age of alopecia onset than patients who did not wear the hijab (31.5 vs. 37.3 years; P = 0.02). Our study suggests that vitamin D deficiency (OR 4.1; 95% CI 1.2-14.1; P = 0.02) and seborrheic dermatitis (OR 2.9; 95% CI 1.1-8.1; P = 0.03) may significantly impact the development of telogen effluvium in patients who wear the hijab. Targeting these risk factors among patients who wear the hijab may be considered to prevent hair loss.
