A medical condition where the skull is abnormally high and pointed at the top, making the head appear cone-shaped.
From Greek akron 'peak' + kephale 'head' + -ia medical suffix. Literally means 'peak-headed,' describing the distinctive skull shape.
This rare skull condition creates a dramatic peak on top of the head—it's related to early fusion of skull bones and can appear in certain genetic syndromes like Apert syndrome.
