A human head can vary significantly in shape, width and length. The most common cause of head enlargement at birth is hydrocephalus or a tumour.

Generally, the human head should measure around 55cm in circumference with variations of +/- 10cm healthy at the adult age.
An adult human cadaver head cut off around vertebra C3, with no hair, weighs somewhere between 4.5 and 5 kg, constituting around 8% of the whole body mass. It is very strange, I know :P
