My uncle took a 6x6 in Utah 2 years ago with a very similar "problem."
His left anlter was going out of the center of his forhead. I'll see if I have a pic on my computer....
It did make a unique mount!

Last year we had a similar bull around our place.  He was a big 5 point on one side and a spike on the other that was probably 5 feet long.  It had been poached a few days before season. My neighbor found the headless carcass on his back property line.  What a waste, it was really a cool rack to look at.  I guess someone else thought so as well.

I shot a bull with his horn coming out the front like that, didn't realize it meant his skull had been fractured.  Goofy looking, but good meat.

Impressive pics - I have heard theories that involve an injured animal will grow odd antlers.  it has proved true with a few bulls my hunting partners have taken over the last several years.  If an animal has an injury on the right side, the left side may grow somewhat out of the norm.  We figure one bull was hit by a car/truck and then started to develop hoof rot, and the other bull was shot but survived until the following season where another hunting partner took that bull.
Can't say if that is what happened in this case, but it does appear as someone previously mentioned to have a messed up skull plate.
Would definitely be a conversaion piece if it were hanging on your walll.
Again, nice pics
