Abnormal head shape
Abnormal head shape is a symptom in which a child's head is unusually shaped, compared to heads of children with the same age or body size. Seriously abnormal head shapes are usually caused by early closure of one or more of the suture lines (growth lines) in between the skull bones of a baby.
