Turricephaly
Template:Short description Template:Infobox medical condition (new) Turricephaly is a type of cephalic disorder where the head appears tall with a small length and width.[1][2] It is due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid,[3] or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures.[4] It should be differentiated from Crouzon syndrome. Oxycephaly (or acrocephaly) is a form of turricephaly where the head is cone-shaped, and is the most severe of the craniosynostoses.[2]
