Positional cranial deformity—the parents’ point of view

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2015
The parents' point of view regarding positional cranial deformities and helmet therapy has not been the subject of scientific interest yet. However, carer acceptance is a key factor for therapeutic success. We therefore investigated parental perception.

Cranial base morphology in association with intentional cranial vault deformation

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1965
AbstractComparison of vault and basal dimensions in 86 Amerind crania revealed that artificial deformation is associated with elevation of frontal orbital processes and temporal petrous crests, restriction of normal downward rotation of foramen magnum, and flattening of mid‐saggital cranial base.

Cranial deformation and nonmetric trait variation

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1993
AbstractCranial deformation is known to influence many traditional craniometric variables, but its effects on nonmetric trait variation are not well characterized. In this study, we examine the effects of three types of deformation (annular, lambdoid flattening, and fronto‐occipital) on nonmetric traits, using a large sample of protohistoric and ...

Clinical Classification of Infant Nonsynostotic Cranial Deformity

Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
Based on a pilot study including >400 children and a comprehensive database analysis of >2500 children, we sought to define the craniofacial norm and to objectify the categorization of positional head deformity.A database was created containing clinical information on children assessed for nonsynostotic cranial deformity.

Management Of Residual Cranial Vault Deformities

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1992
The aims of calvarial reconstruction are to restore anesthetic contour and to provide protection for the underlying central nervous system structures. The authors present their algorithm of reconstructive options. Important considerations are the anatomic location of the defect and the duration since the original injury.

[Babies with cranial deformity].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2010
Plagiocephaly was diagnosed in a baby aged 4 months and brachycephaly in a baby aged 5 months. Positional or deformational plagio- or brachycephaly is characterized by changes in shape and symmetry of the cranial vault. Treatment options are conservative and may include physiotherapy and helmet therapy.

The relation of mouth protectors to cranial pressure and deformation

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1967
When the mouth protectors were in place in an intact male cadaver and a blow was delivered to the inferior border of the chin, there was a decided reduction in the amplitude of the in tracranial pressure wave and a moderate decrease in cranial bone deformation.

Validation of a Simple Method for Measuring Cranial Deformities (Plagiocephalometry)

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2008
Craniofacial measuring is essential for diagnosis or evaluation of growth and therapies. Skull deformities in children are mainly caused by craniosynostosis or by external pressure in positional skull deformations. Traditional anthropometry does not sufficiently analyze craniofacial shape.

A Study on the Effectiveness of Helmet Therapy for Cranial Deformations According to Cranial Shape

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
Background: To investigate the effects of helmet therapy on plagiocephaly, according to head circumference, cephalic index (CI), and skull height. Plagiocephaly is a condition in which the skull is congenitally asymmetrical or affected by acquired factors such as compression in the womb or the habit of sleeping on one side ...

Cranial Growth Unrestricted during Treatment of Deformational Plagiocephaly

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1999
<i>Objectives:</i> The Dynamic Orthotic Cranioplasty (DOC) Band^TM is a cranial orthosis used to treat deformational plagiocephaly. The ability of this device to redirect growth and thus, improve craniofacial asymmetry has raised concerns regarding the potential restriction of cranial growth.
