Delayed Motor Development and Infant Obesity as Risk Factors for Severe Deformational Plagiocephaly: A Matched Case–Control Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 The prevalence of deformational plagiocephaly (DP) has increased since the recommendation of positioning infants to their back during sleeping and is affected by various biological and environmental factors.

Evaluating Cranial Growth in Japanese Infants Using a Three-dimensional Scanner: Relationship between Growth-related Parameters and Deformational Plagiocephaly [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2022 In this study, we aimed to evaluate the longitudinal changes in the cranial shape of healthy Japanese infants using a three-dimensional scanner and construct a normal values database for the growth process.

Spherical harmonics to quantify cranial asymmetry in deformational plagiocephaly [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Cranial deformation and deformational plagiocephaly (DP) in particular affect an important percentage of infants. The assessment and diagnosis of the deformation are commonly carried by manual measurements that provide low interuser accuracy.

Comorbidities of deformational plagiocephaly in infancy: a scoping review protocol [PDF]
BMJ Paediatrics Open, 2021 Introduction Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is one of the most common cranial shape disorders in infancy. It is characterised by unilateral flattening of the skull due to head preference to one side.

Automatic detection and monitoring of abnormal skull shape in children with deformational plagiocephaly using deep learning [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Craniofacial anomaly including deformational plagiocephaly as a result of deformities in head and facial bones evolution is a serious health problem in newbies. The impact of such condition on the affected infants is profound from both medical and social

Deformational plagiocephaly: The case for an evolutionary mismatch. [PDF]
Evol Med Public Health, 2018 Lay Summary: In industrialized societies some babies develop flattening of the back part of their head. It is thought that this comes from sleeping supine, which has been shown to be the safest option for babies. However, this explanation cannot be correct from an evolutionary standpoint: why should safe sleep come at the cost of a misshaped head ...

Three-Dimensional versus Two-Dimensional Evaluations of Cranial Asymmetry in Deformational Plagiocephaly Using a Three-Dimensional Scanner [PDF]
Children, 2022 This study aimed to assess the measurement precision of a three-dimensional (3D) scanner that detects the geometric shape as surface data and to investigate the differences between two-dimensional (2D) and 3D evaluations in infants with deformational ...

Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly: Clinical Outcomes and Considerations [PDF]
ChildrenBackground/Objectives: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is defined as an asymmetrical flattening of infants’ occipital skull. Helmet therapy is one of the treatments reported that can reduce skull deformity by guiding the growing direction of the head ...
