Wikipedia
dolichocephalic
Dolichocephaly (derived from the Ancient Greek δολιχός 'long' and κεφαλή 'head') is a condition where the head is longer than would be expected, relative to its width. In humans, scaphocephaly is a form of dolichocephaly. Dolichocephalic dogs (such as the Lurcher or German Shepherd) have elongated noses. This makes them vulnerable to fungal diseases of the nose such as aspergillosis. In humans the anterior–posterior diameter (length) of dolichocephaly head is more than the transverse diameter (width).It can be present in cases of Sensenbrenner syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, Sotos syndrome, CMFTD and Marfan syndrome.

dolichocephalic
Dolichocephalic is a term used in anthropology, archaeology, and comparative anatomy to describe individuals or animals with a long and narrow skull. The term is derived from the Greek words "dolikhos" meaning long, and "kephale" meaning head. A high cephalic index (length of the skull in percentage to its width) typically indicates dolichocephaly.
