Longitudinal, Three-Dimensional Analysis of Head Shape in Children with and without Deformational Plagiocephaly or Brachycephaly [PDF]

Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
To assess 3-dimensional (3D) changes in head shape in infancy and at age 18 months in children with and without plagiocephaly or brachycephaly.Using a longitudinal design, we evaluated head shape using 3D surface imaging. We compared the head shapes of children with (1) diagnosed deformational plagiocephaly or brachycephaly (cases; n=233); (2 ...

Deformational brachycephaly: the clinical utility of the cranial index [PDF]

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2020
OBJECTIVEThe incidence of deformational brachycephaly has risen since the “Back to Sleep” movement in 1992 by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Brachycephaly prevalence and understanding the dynamic nature of the pediatric skull have not been explored in relation to the cranial index (CI). The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of

Exceptional Changes in Skeletal Anatomy under Domestication: The Case of Brachycephaly [PDF]

, 2021
“Brachycephaly” is generally considered a phenotype in which the facial part of the head is pronouncedly shortened. While brachycephaly is characteristic for some domestic varieties and breeds (e.g., Bulldog, Persian cat, Niata cattle, Anglo-Nubian goat,
