³Ankara Keçiören Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Patoloji Kliniği, Ankara, Uz. Dr. A 33-year-old male patient was referred to the dermatology clinic for a complaint of furrowing of the scalp that had begun 7 years previously and which had slowly progressed. A diagnosis of cutis verticis gyrate (CVG) was made, and the patient was referred to our clinic for assessment of possible associated ocular conditions. High central corneal thickness (CCT) and high cup to disk ratio were detected in a patient with primary essential CVG who had normal intraocular pressure (IOP). In patients with CVG, high CCT may lead to artifactually high measurements of IOP, resulting in unnecessary treatments. Keywords : Cutis verticis gyrate; central corneal thickness; cup to disk ratio
