Infant Cranial Deformity: Cranial Helmet Therapy or Physiotherapy? [PDF]
Objective: To compare cranial helmet therapy (CHT) and physiotherapy (PT) for the effective treatment of positional plagiocephaly in infants in terms of improving functional recovery. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study involving 48 infants between 5–10 months of age with cranial deformities.

Using gel pillows in preterm infants is related to decreased cranial deformity [PDF]
Introduction: The positional scaphocephaly is the preterm infants’ typical cranial deformity. And probably is due to improper motor control, which determines minor change in position and longer asymmetric pressure on the skull. Decreasing the pressure of

Harvey Cushing's experience with cranial deformity
Surgery for cranial deformity was associated with significant surgical morbidity during the early part of the 20th century. For this reason, Harvey Cushing was initially not in favor of surgical treatment of craniosynostosis. Later in his career, Cushing began to operate on these children, although it never became a major focus of his practice. Several

Effects of an Educational Intervention Program on Positional Cranial Deformity in Premature Infants [PDF]
Positional cranial deformities are associated with prematurity evolving during the first 2 years of life due to the malleable characteristics of the skull, the first year being the main/primary therapeutic window for intervention. The objectives were (a)

Management of cranial deformity following ventricular shunting
Ventricular shunt-induced craniosynostosis is a widely recognised cause of secondary craniosynostosis. We reviewed the management and long-term outcome of the cases of cranial deformity post cerebrospinal fluid shunting in our unit and compared these with previously published series.The Australian Craniofacial Unit and Department of Neurosurgery ...

Prosthetic rehabilitation of cranial deformity in hyperostotic convexity meningioma
Cranial defects lead to unesthetic appearance and are a constant source of apprehension to the patient. Meningioma with calvarial extension requires the excision of the involved bone for complete excision.

Artificial cranial deformation in Tiwanaku, Bolivia [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Herein lies a brief historical review of the practice of artificial cranial deformation (ACD) in Tiwanaku, Bolivia, a pre-Columbian archeological ruin once regarded as one of the most powerful pre-Inca regions whose influence extended into present-day Peru and Chile from 600 to 1000 AD.

A Prospective Study of Cranial Deformity and Delayed Development in Children [PDF]
Plagiocephaly, the most common form of cranial deformity, has become more prevalent in recent years. Many authors have described a number of sequelae of poorly defined etiologies, although several gaps exist in their real scope.
