sir.—In the article by Felding and Feingold,1 published in the March 1988 issue of AJDC, the last sentence seems to imply that there are no chormosomal abnormalities observed in cases of cutis verticis gyrata (CVG). We recently treated a patient with Turner's syndrome (karyotype: 45,X) who exhibited such an anomaly.
