This is just a label used to describe a person whose skull and facial features differ from what is considered normal values. It may be seen with chromosomal abnormalities, gene defects or as a variation of normal. Physicians often choose to do extra tests to separate the normal variants from those who need special monitoring for hidden abnormalities that may affect their health.
