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

Medical Imaging 2021: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, 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. Method: We have developed a technology (called SoftSpotTM) based on advanced imaging algorithms to detect different types and ...

Deformational brachycephaly in supine-sleeping infants

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 ...

Spectrum of positional deformities – Is there a real difference between plagiocephaly and brachycephaly?

open access: yesJournal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2014
This study analyses pathomorphological and physiological head shapes and classifies the pathomorphology in positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly.78 infants with a positional plagiocephaly (5.99 months) and 32 infants with a positional brachycephaly (6.53 months) with a Cephalic index > 94% were investigated in this study and compared to a matched ...

The role of age on helmet therapy in deformational plagiocephaly and asymmetric brachycephaly

Child's Nervous System, 2019
This study aimed to investigate the effect of age at helmet therapy onset on treatment efficacy in moderate-to-severe deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and combined DP and asymmetrical brachycephaly (AB) in infants.Ninety-eight infants who were referred to our institution and who underwent helmet therapy between 2014 and 2018 were retrospectively ...

A case report: resolution of Chiari I malformation after helmet therapy for deformational brachycephaly

Child's Nervous System, 2020
Positional plagiocephaly is the most common cause of cranial asymmetry. Deformational brachycephaly denotes a head shape characterized by occipital flattening and increased bilateral width, which can also be caused by external deformation of the moldable infant cranium in positional bilateral posterior plagiocephaly.

Deformational Plagiocephaly, Brachycephaly, and Scaphocephaly. Part I

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Cranial deformation is the most common cause of abnormal head shape. Intentional and unintentional alterations of cranial form are associated with the application of external pressure to the growing infant head, and such changes have been recorded throughout man's history. Recent changes in Western sleeping practices, instituted to reduce the incidence

Long-term outcomes in treatment of deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly using helmet therapy and repositioning: a longitudinal cohort study

Child's Nervous System, 2015
Deformational plagiocephaly and/or brachycephaly (DPB) is a misshapen head presenting at birth or shortly thereafter, caused by extrinsic forces on an infant's malleable cranium. There are two treatment methods available for DPB: helmeting and repositioning. Little is known about the long-term outcomes of these two treatment options.
