What is another word for oxycephaly?
Pronunciation: [ˌɒksɪsˈɛfəli] (IPA) 
Oxycephaly is a medical term that refers to a condition where the cranial vault is abnormally shaped, resulting in a peaked or conical head. Some synonyms for oxycephaly include turricephaly, acrocephaly, and hypsicephaly. Turricephaly is a form of craniosynostosis that causes a tall, tower-like skull shape. Acrocephaly is characterized by a pointed, pointed skull due to premature fusion of cranial sutures. Hypsicephaly is another synonym for oxycephaly, which means an abnormally high head caused by a fusion of cranial sutures. Although these synonyms refer to similar conditions, they may differ in terms of the specific skull shape and underlying causes.
