Sagittal craniosynostosis is characterized by a pronounced head shape, often referred to as [[scaphocephaly]] or [[Dolichocephaly]]
----
Scaphocephaly is a term often used interchangeably with [[isolated sagittal synostosis]] because it describes the same condition. Scaphocephaly refers to a specific type of [[craniosynostosis]] where the [[sagittal suture]] closes prematurely, leading to the characteristic long and narrow appearance of the [[skull]].
