Abstract Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the formation of folds in the scalp that resembles the cerebral cortex. We present two cases of CVG and intellectual disability with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Recognizing CVG is necessary to provide interdisciplinary support for the treatment of comorbidities associated with this entity.
