Occiput, Prominent

Definition:

Subjective: Increased convexity of the occiput (posterior part of the skull)

Comments:

Increased convexity of the occiput gives an appearance of prominence. There are no objective measures for convexity of the occiput, and evaluation depends heavily on the experience of the observer. This finding may or may not be accompanied by Dolichocephaly, but this should be coded separately.
