Skull Saddle

The saddle-type (or clinocephalic) skull is one of the variants of the normal structure of the skull. It is characterized by the fact that the frontal part of the skull is shaped like a wedge, which tapers towards the back of the head. This type of skull occurs in many people and is not a sign of any disease or pathology.

A saddle-shaped skull has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it ensures a tighter fit of the skull bones to each other, which can help reduce the risk of developing various brain diseases. In addition, such a skull can contribute to better blood supply to the brain and reduce the risk of stroke.

On the other hand, a saddle-shaped skull can cause some problems with breathing and eating. Also, some people may experience discomfort when wearing glasses or other accessories. However, these problems can be solved by choosing the right shape of glasses or other accessory.

In general, a saddle-shaped skull is a normal skull structure and is not a sign of any disease or pathology. It may have its advantages and disadvantages, but in most cases does not require treatment.
