Oxycephaly

Oxycephaly is a type of cephalic disorder where the top of the skull is pointed or conical due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid,[3] or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures.[2] It should be differentiated from Crouzon syndrome. Oxycephaly is the most severe of the craniosynostoses.

gollark: Done.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/Frv3xkB9Full badly-commented thing.
gollark: I *did* test this, you know.
gollark: ```lua-- Convert path to canonical formlocal function canonicalize(path) return fs.combine(path, "")endlocal function path_in(p, dir) return starts_with(canonicalize(p), canonicalize(dir))end-- Resolve a path with the given root - if you go outside it, loops you back inlocal function resolve_path(path, root) if path_in(path, "/rom") then -- allow access to shared ROM return path end local new_path = fs.combine(root, path) if not path_in(new_path, root) then return resolve_path(new_path, root) else return new_path endend```Relevant code.
gollark: FS overrides can create some really "fun" filesystem messes.
