A member asked:
Can a person with a big skull have a small brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This would be abnormal though as the skull has to be filled by something which is usually the brain so if the brain is small then something else fills that void .The volume of the skull is a rough indicator of the size of the brain
