Can My Elongated Head Be Reduced?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Bonjour j’ai un crâne allonger depuis ma naissance. , j’ai 31 ans et j’aimerai savoir si ce handicap pouvais être soigner
A: You undoubtably have some form of congentall sagittal craniosynostosis to have siuch a long anteroposterior skull length. The question is whether the occiput (back of the head) could be reduced enough to make the surgical effort worth it. It would require a CT scan to determine the bone thickness to see how much reduction could be safely achieved.
