Short head deformity

Short head deformity is caused by premature ossification of coronary sutures on both sides. The forehead is symmetrical and flat after the coronary suture is closed on both sides, so it is also called flat head deformity or wide head deformity, accounting for about 14.3% of patients with ossification of both sides of the skull. The cranial crest is elevated, so it is manifested by the widening of the skull, the wide forehead and the flattened middle fossa, the orbital becomes shallow and the orbital dysplasia is poor, and the eyeballs are prominently like "goldfish eyes".
