Can The Length Of The Back Of My Head From Scaphocephaly Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello sir I have scaphocephaly head problem what should I do? What surgery is possible to overcome this problem? 

A:The term scaphocephaly refers to an elongated skull from front to back. By the way you have taken your pictures my assumption is that the most bothersome part is the length on the back of your head. The question is not whether the back of the head squall bone can be reduced in projection/length but whether enough can be taken to make a visible external difference. This is determined from the 3-D CT skull scan with color mapping of the bone sicknesses to make that determination.
