  1. 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.
