Definition

A rare progressive dermis disorder with characteristics of thickening of the scalp resulting in redundancy of skin which gives rise to folds and grooves that give the scalp a cerebriform appearance. Folds cannot be corrected by pressure or traction and typically are symmetric and extend anteroposteriorly from vertex to occiput and/or transversely in occipital region. Additional features may include mild subungual hyperkeratosis and distal onycholysis of the nail plates of the great toes. It is not associated with neurological and ophthalmological changes or with secondary causes. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
