It's referred to as "fasciated" or "fasciation" for a word to search with. Some is disease related, but I tend to see few die of it from disease, or become infested with the odd shapes. Generally, trees I see with it, have just a few odd twisted limbs "here and there".
Another interesting defect here on oaks is the
OAK GALLS or OAK APPLES.
Not a real problem. Triggered by wasp offspring. No real health hazard, but freaks out a few homeowners now and then.
