Dolichocephaly is a condition where the head is longer than would be expected,[1] relative to its width. In humans, scaphocephaly is a form of dolicocephaly.
Dolicocephalic dog breeds (such as German Shepherd Dogs), have an elongated nose. This predisposes them to fungal diseases of the nose such as aspergillosis.[2]
It can present in cases of Sensenbrenner syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, Sotos syndrome,[3] as well as Marfan syndrome.
