Dolichocephaly is a medical term that is used to describe a condition where the head is longer than usual, and narrower from side to side. This condition is commonly associated with certain medical conditions such as craniosynostosis or Down Syndrome. However, there are many other terms that can be used to describe this condition. These include scaphocephaly, which is derived from the Greek word for boat, as the condition resembles the shape of a boat. Other terms that can describe dolichocephaly include long-headedness, elongated skull, and narrow-headedness. Some of these terms may not be used as commonly as dolichocephaly, but they can all be used to describe the same condition.
