    Correct answer:

    Yes, it's scaphocephaly (also known as boat skull).

    This form of craniosynostosis is caused by premature closing of the suturae saggitalis, resulting in a small left-to-right diameter of the skull. Depending on how serious the condition, neurological problems can be present.
