Predictive Factors of Outcomes in Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly and Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2022
Deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, or abnormal flattening of the infant skull due to external forces, are often managed with orthotic helmet therapy. Although helmet therapy is widely used, the factors that predict poor outcomes are not well characterized.

Toward quantitative assessment of deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly at the point-of-care

Journal of Medical Imaging, 2021
Purpose: Develop and validate algorithms that can enable a novice user to quantitatively measure the head shape parameters associated with deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly (DPB) using 2D rendered images. Approach: First, the head contour is extracted semi-automatically using the intelligent scissors method.

Visualization of skull remodeling and re-ossification after reconstructive surgery and mosaic-like cranioplasty in sagittal synostosis and deformational brachycephaly

, 2020
Introduction: Extended vertex craniectomy in sagittal synostosis (SS) and transposition craniectomy in severe deformational brachycephaly (DB) combined with mosaic-like cranioplasty (M-LC) have been performed in 17 and 24 infants from 2001 to 2003.

Molding Helmet Therapy for Deformational Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2019
Background: Molding helmet therapy is used for the treatment of infants with deformational brachycephaly (DB). There is a lack of rigorous outcome measures of helmet therapy in patients with DB using 3-dimensional (3D) imaging, with most reports rely on either subjective or 2-dimensional analyses.

A Retrospective Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Cranial Remolding Orthoses for the Treatment of Deformational Brachycephaly

JPO Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 2022
ABSTRACT Introduction This retrospective chart review aims to analyze the effects of initial severity and age on cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) treatment of deformational brachycephaly. It is predicted that younger cases will show greater rates of correction and more severe cases will require longer treatment times.

Analysis of the correlation between deformational plagiocephaly and neurodevelopmental delay

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, 2018
BACKGROUND: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) refers to cranial asymmetry resulting from uneven external forces. A strong association exists between DP and developmental delay. We investigated the effect of DP severity on developmental delay. METHODS:

Skeletal Analysis Of Craniofacial Deformities In Brachycephaly: Comparison With Craniofacial Deformities In Plagiocephaly

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2001
The deformities of craniofacial bones in brachycephaly (n = 2) and plagiocephaly (n = 2) were compared using three-dimensional skull replicas. In brachycephaly the bilateral deformities of the cranial base were similar to the unilateral deformities on the affected side in plagiocephaly.

Classification and Pathogenic Models of Unintentional Postural Cranial Deformities in Infants

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Unintentional postural deformities of the skull have increased in a pseudoepidemic manner in the last 15 years. Although dorsal decubitus and prenatal risk factors can play a role in the genesis of such deformities, we think that a crucial determinant is a postnatal defect of cervical mobility responsible for the infant's posture (ie, positional ...
