oxycephaly
Oxycephaly, also known as turricephaly, is a type of cephalic disorder where the top of the skull is pointed or conical due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture. This leads to an abnormal head shape and can potentially cause pressure on the brain and affect its development. It is the most severe form of craniosynostosis.

Oxycephaly
Oxycephaly, also known as turricephaly and high-head syndrome, is a type of cephalic disorder. This is a term sometimes used to describe the premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid, or it may be used to describe the premature fusing of all sutures. It should be differentiated from Crouzon syndrome. Oxycephaly is the most severe of the craniosynostoses.
