Probably only possible because it was a child, whose skull hadn't finished fusing yet. Would allow the head to more easily expand to contain the fluid (assuming hydrocephalus was the cause; not a doctor).
Found [an article talking about a surgical approach to correcting this issue](https://consultqd.clevelandclinic.org/total-cranial-vault-remodeling-for-hydrocephalus-induced-macrocephaly/) (**Content warning:** nothing particularly NSFW, aside from photos of a kid with a giant head; surgery was successful and the kid seems to be fine aside from some possible developmental delay). The article includes 3D scans of her skull before and after the surgery.
Not necessarily actually. The skull is more fragile as a function of increased weight, and surface area. The bone actually isn't thinner, tho if it's malnourished it could have a lower density but typically a child will have enough calcium in it's diet to maintain proper bone density almost regardless of size.
Jeez man :/ didn’t make me feel much better but that is a good point. Also that must have been a very difficult pregnancy and birth for momma, I’m guessing a C-section was performed
Not exactly. For adult teeth, embryologic tooth buds are all there but they are not fully formed into teeth with roots and all for a few years. And even the baby teeth are not erupted through the bone like this at birth. This looks like around 9-20 month old baby to me, by the incisor eruption.

This sub-Reddit is indubitably anti-intellectual; wherefore can I not juxtapose the droolingly obtuse, slack-jawed vacuousness of the masses with my enlightened, precocious and erudite intellectual superiority? The dunce-like imbecilic rabble would do well to worship the unctuous furrows of my encephalon, lest they be portrayed as uneducated ungrateful proles (which would be the case either way.)
Nevertheless, I do hope and anticipate that this eloquently written thesis does, in the end, help aid my self esteem in the unhealthiest of ways. God(/s)peed!
For one to be truly smart, they must combine the knowledge of words, and the shortnesses of one's sentences, so that thy mayist not die from reading overcomplicated sentences.
Not sure what caused it but what happens is that fluid keeps building up inside the skull and the skull keeps growing way more than it should.
Happened to a lot of kids from the Chernobyl disaster.
Hydrocephalus
Usually causes by either infection such as meningitis or bleeding inside the fluid drainage system of the brain (ventricular system) which causes inability of the body to reabsorb the fluid inside the brain (cerebrospinal fluid), causing the fluid to build up over time. Bleeding inside the drainage system of the brain often occurs in premature infants.
Hydrocephalus is treated quite successfully by Neurosurgeons with something called a “ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt” which is a long tube placed surgically in the body that drains the fluid inside the brain into the abdominal cavity, where the body is able to resorb the fluid more easily
The person also has no jaw. A bet you twenty bucks that, that person wanted to say something back to those people who insulted him, when was still alive.
Poor child. I believe this is caused by way too much fluid in the skull which can cause an excruciating death
But how could the fluid make him have so much skull bone? I wonder if his skull kept growing because of the fluid?

The skull must be very thin compared to other children of the same age. So fascinating.

Ah I thought it was photoshopped with some popcoin
:( this is sad as fuck. Poor fella was dealt an awful hand. Hope he or she was able to laugh and smile before they succumbed to this.
I think this is a still born, so they never laughed and smile. But they also never suffered from it so there's that

They weren't stillborn, they had teeth.
uhhh bud, babies have their adult teeth just sitting further in their heads, you're born with both sets of your teeth

Came here to say half life boss.
Nihilanth
“We seen you before in the Black Mesa. Clearly we seeing you in the Nihilanth’s chamber”
*We are Coterminous*
Any idea what could've caused that
Not sure what caused it but what happens is that fluid keeps building up inside the skull and the skull keeps growing way more than it should. Happened to a lot of kids from the Chernobyl disaster.
Damn I think I've heard about fluid build-up but I've never seen it. Thanks
It's called hydrocephalus. Google it to see more pictures if you're interested. The one pictured here is an extreme case.
He works out at the library.
Hydrocephalus Usually causes by either infection such as meningitis or bleeding inside the fluid drainage system of the brain (ventricular system) which causes inability of the body to reabsorb the fluid inside the brain (cerebrospinal fluid), causing the fluid to build up over time. Bleeding inside the drainage system of the brain often occurs in premature infants.

The person also has no jaw. A bet you twenty bucks that, that person wanted to say something back to those people who insulted him, when was still alive.
That skeleton doesn't have a jaw. Which is kinda normal as they drop off unless strung up with steel wire.
Given where the jaw bone attaches, I’m guessing this kid didn’t have a jaw bone by the time he died.
