	In turricephaly, the premature closure of the coronal suture restricts the normal growth of the skull perpendicular to the suture. As a result, the skull compensates by growing in a vertical direction, leading to a tower-like appearance. This condition can also involve the [[sagittal suture]] and [[lambdoid suture]], further contributing to the abnormal skull shape.

The condition can lead to increased [[intracranial pressure]], which may cause symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbances, and developmental delays.

	'''Turricephaly''', also known as '''oxycephaly''', is a type of [[craniosynostosis]] characterized by a high, tower-like skull. This condition results from the premature fusion of the [[coronal suture]] and sometimes other sutures, leading to a vertical elongation of the skull. Turricephaly is a rare cranial deformity and is often associated with other syndromic conditions.

	== Prognosis ==		== Prognosis ==

	The prognosis for individuals with turricephaly varies depending on the severity of the condition and the presence of associated syndromes. With timely surgical intervention, many patients experience significant improvement in skull shape and a reduction in symptoms. However, ongoing monitoring and supportive therapies may be necessary to address any developmental or neurological issues.
