A member asked:

Would an arachnoid cyst on the back of my son's brain be the reason the top of his head is a cone shape?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: Head shape is unrelated to arachnoid cyst. Skull shape is created by sutures between cranial bones. Premature closure of metopic suture- in forehead area can create a cone or triangular shaped head.
