Predictors of Severity in Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2009
Multiple risk factors for deformational plagiocephaly (DP) have been reported. The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of these variables on the severity of this deformity. A prospective cohort study was performed. Parents completed a standardized questionnaire assessing potential risk factors for DP before assessment.

Deformational plagiocephaly at birth: an observational study on the role of assisted reproductive technologies

Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2014
Background: Following the "back to sleep" recommendations, a striking rise in deformational plagiocephaly (DP) occurred. However, additional maternal, pregnancy and infant conditions may play a role. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of and

Frontal Plagiocephaly: Synostotic, Compensational, or Deformational

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1992
Plagiocephaly is a term commonly used to describe congenital forehead asymmetry. Sixty patients with frontal plagiocephaly were evaluated retrospectively and separated into three types: synostotic (N = 24), compensational (N = 3), and deformational (N = 33).

Neurodevelopmental Delays in Children with Deformational Plagiocephaly

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2006
The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in fact, infants with deformational plagiocephaly, or plagiocephaly without synostosis, demonstrated cognitive and psychomotor developmental delays when compared with a standardized population. Through this study, we chose to expand upon our earlier findings from 2001 on patients with deformational ...

Risk Factors Associated With Deformational Plagiocephaly

Pediatrics, 2009
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to statistically evaluate the independent and interacting effects of biological and environmental risk factors that influence lateralization of deformational plagiocephaly (DP) in an attempt to provide future guidance for clinical treatment.METHODS: A database of >20000 children treated for DP was examined by ...

Deformational plagiocephaly: diagnosis, prevention, and treatment

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2005
The "Back to Sleep" campaign has dramatically decreased the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome; however, its sequelae of deformational plagiocephaly have today reached epidemic proportions. In the last decade, we have learned to distinguish deformational plagiocephaly clinically from craniosynostosis, thereby preventing its unnecessary surgical ...

Argenta Clinical Classification of Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
A stratification system is useful in deformational plagiocephaly (DP) to help categorize patients and reproduce a consistent treatment strategy. The Argenta classification is a clinical 5-point scale for unilateral DP and 3-point scale for central DP (CDP).A retrospective review was completed for patients with DP and classified using the Argenta ...

Deformational Plagiocephaly—A Focus on Prevention

Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2017
Abstract Deformational plagiocephaly is a common issue in primary care. It is crucial that providers are familiar with recommendations for the diagnosis and management of DP. In this article we provide an overview of literature related to epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, history and physical, diagnostics ...

Early Neurodevelopment in Infants With Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2013
The objective of this study was to characterize the early neurodevelopmental profile of Australian infants with deformational plagiocephaly (DP). Twenty-one infants with a confirmed diagnosis of DP (mean age, 7.9 months; SD, 2.0 months) were assessed on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition, before treatment.
