Scaphocephaly



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.
