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.
