What is head defects in morphology?

Head defects in morphology refer to congenital abnormalities affecting the structure and development of the head and face. These defects can include a range of conditions, such as craniOSynostosis, which involves the premature fusion of skull bones, or facial clefts like cleft lip and palate. Such defects can impact appearance, function, and sometimes neurological development, necessitating medical assessment and potential surgical intervention. The causes of head defects can be genetic, environmental, or multifactorial.
