Is it possible for shape of skull in adults over 50 to change with age ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not age alone: Bone disease like Paget's disease can alter the shape of the skull. Acromegaly can increase the size of the skull. Metabolic bone disease may alter the shape by softening the bones.
