Oxycephalus (historic image from Hess, 1922)

There are several skull deformities caused by premature fusion (synostosis) of different developing skull sutures. Suture abnormalities are classified as either "simple" (only one suture involved) or "compound" (two or more sutures involved).

Oxycephaly (tower skull) results from premature coronal suture synostosis.
