Dynamic Cranioplasty for Brachycephaly

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1996
In craniofacial surgery, the most common techniques for treatment of brachycephaly have been either to let the forehead float on the brain or to fix it in an advanced position. Since neither of these techniques renders acceptable results with enough consistency, we have developed a different way of addressing the problem.

Intracranial Volume Measured and Correlated to Cephalic Index in Syndromic and Nonsyndromic Anterior Brachycephaly

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2021
Background Premature fusion of both coronal sutures (anterior brachycephaly) alters skull shape and potentially affects intracranial volume (ICV). Currently little is known about preoperative ICV in anterior brachycephaly.

Understanding barriers and facilitators impacting parental adherence to positional plagiocephaly or brachycephaly prevention strategies: A qualitative exploration

Developmental Neurorehabilitation
Background Positional plagiocephaly or brachycephaly (PPB), linked to developmental delays and asymmetrical features, often prompts parental concern and medical consultation.

Adjunct Use of Orthotic Therapy in Patients With Craniosynostosis and Concurrent Plagiocephaly or Brachycephaly.

The Journal of craniofacial surgery (Print)
Craniosynostosis (CS), the premature fusion of 1 or more cranial sutures, can present with coexisting deformation plagiocephaly or brachiocephaly. While surgical correction is the standard for CS, the management of cases with concurrent positional head ...

Quantitative assessment of deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly at the point-of-care

Medical Imaging, 2021
Purpose: to develop and validate algorithms that enable a novice user to quantitatively measure the head shape parameters associated with deformational plagiocephaly, and brachycephaly (DPB) using a smartphone or tablet.

Developmental Outcomes of School-Aged Children Diagnosed with Positional Plagiocephaly/Brachycephaly in Infancy

Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics
Positional plagiocephaly/brachycephaly (PPB) is associated with undesirable head shapes, developmental delays, and social issues. This study compares parent reports of developmental outcomes for school-aged children 4–10 years old with PPB ...

Safe Sleep, Plagiocephaly, and Brachycephaly: Assessment, Risks, Treatment, and When to Refer.

Pediatric annals, 2020
The Safe to Sleep campaign started in 1994, reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by 40% to 60%. However, an undesirable consequence has been a 400% to 600% increase in positional head deformities.

Nonsynostotic Posterior Brachycephaly with Hindbrain Herniation

World Neurosurgery, 2017
Positional plagiocephaly is the most common cause of cranial asymmetry. The underlying cause of Chiari-1 malformation has many possible theories, and anecdotally some pediatric neurosurgeons have had experience of severe cases of positional brachycephaly with Chiari-1.

Brachycephaly and External Pressure

Journal Of Craniofacial Surgery, 2000
Browsing through some literatures, I happened to find out some records on the rite of imitation of the child's head to brachycephaly. In 1976, two skulls showing extraordinary forms were excavated out of an ancient tomb at Yean village of Daedong township in Kimhae County in Kyungnam Province, the Republic of Korea.

Deformational brachycephaly in supine-sleeping infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2005
Medical dictionaries and anthropologic sources define brachycephaly as a cranial index (CI = width divided by length x 100%) greater than 81%. We examine the impact of supine sleeping on CI and compare orthotic treatment with repositioning.We compared the effect of repositioning versus helmet therapy on CI in 193 infants referred for abnormal head ...
