Did you mean Vertex Region?

Glossaryvertex area (Vertex Region)

region at the top of the head, often called the crown

The vertex area, also known as the crown area, refers to the top part of the head where the scalp is most prominent. This region is often a focal point in discussions about hair loss, particularly in conditions like androgenetic alopecia, where thinning or balding typically begins at the vertex. Understanding the vertex area is crucial for both diagnosing hair loss patterns and planning treatments such as hair transplants.
