Helmet Treatment of Infants With Deformational Brachycephaly [PDF]
Global Pediatric Health, 2018 Deformation of the cranium in infancy represents a spectrum of deformity, ranging from severe asymmetric yet proportional distortion of the skull in plagiocephaly, to nearly symmetric yet disproportional distortion in brachycephaly.

Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for the Treatment Time of Deformational Head Shapes Using a Cranial Remolding Orthosis [PDF]
Children, 2022 The cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) has been shown in previous studies to be an effective method of treatment for deformational head shapes. Many studies have shown younger infants achieve greater correction than older infants and generally have a ...

Cranial Shape Measurements Obtained Using a Caliper and Elastic Bands Are Useful for Brachycephaly and Deformational Plagiocephaly Screening [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023 We assessed a method for screening the cranial shape of 1-month-old infants using a simple measuring instrument instead of a three-dimensional scanner. The Mimos craniometer was used to measure cranial length, cranial width, and two diagonal lengths to calculate the cranial index (CI) and cranial asymmetry (CA).

Molding Helmet Therapy for Severe Deformational Brachycephaly: Position of Eurion and Therapeutic Effect [PDF]
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023 Background: Molding helmet therapy is used routinely for moderate to severe deformational plagiocephaly. However, there have been few reports of its use for deformational brachycephaly (DB). The incidence and severity of DB are high in the Asian population, including Japanese people, but there are no reports of treatment for ...

Positional plagiocephaly: results of the osteopathic treatment of 424 infants. An observational retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Italian Journal of PediatricsBackground Positional plagiocephaly is an asymmetrical flattened skull deformity whose incidence increased significantly in the last decades. Osteopathic treatment has been suggested to tackle early deformational sequences, in order to ensure the correct

Direct Anthropometry Overestimates Cranial Asymmetry—3D Digital Photography Proves to Be a Reliable Alternative [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 This study compared manual and digital measurements of plagiocephaly and brachycephaly in infants and evaluated whether three-dimensional (3D) digital photography measurements can be used as a superior alternative in everyday clinical practice.
