A medical condition where parts of the skull bone become abnormally soft, usually in infants.
From Greek 'kranion' (skull) and 'malakia' (softness), literally meaning 'soft skull.' Medical terms use this direct translation approach.
Doctors see this condition in premature babies and can sometimes spot it just by feeling the skull—if bone feels like rubber, something is wrong with mineral development.
