Coincident Metopic Synostosis and Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1999
A male infant is described in whom coincident pathologies of metopic synostosis and deformational plagiocephaly were observed. The role in causation of localized pressure (in particular, extreme constraint) is addressed.

A Statistical Model of Head Asymmetry in Infants with Deformational Plagiocephaly

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007
Deformational plagiocephaly is a term describing cranial asymmetry and deformation commonly seen in infants. The purpose of this work was to develop a methodology for assessment and modelling of head asymmetry.

Avoiding the Sequela Associated With Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2003
Over the last decade, infants with deformities in the craniofacial skeleton have been seen at our craniofacial center, and similar observations have been noted in infants seen for evaluation and management after birth, where there are not any evident pathological findings such as craniosynostosis or another known genetic disorder.

Severe Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Deformational plagiocephaly (DP), a benign infantile condition, is often thought to improve spontaneously but can in fact lead to permanent skull asymmetry if left untreated. Deformational plagiocephaly can be completely corrected by nonsurgical treatments if recognized in the first year of life.

In Search of Causative Factors of Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2004
This is a preliminary study of 37 infants with deformational plagiocephaly. In this first effort to create a profile of factors that may contribute to the onset and progress of developmental plagiocephaly, parents were interviewed concerning selected practices before and immediately after the birth of their infants. Results of the study do not reveal a

Ocular Manifestations of Deformational Frontal Plagiocephaly

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1993
ABSTRACT Frontal plagiocephaly can be caused by two mechanisms: craniosynostosis and external deformational pressure. Synostotic plagiocephaly is known to be associated with vertical strabismus and contralateral head tilt. Thirteen patients with deformational frontal plagiocephaly were examined to evaluate head position, ocular motility, and ...

Uvular Malformation in the Presence of Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
Deformational plagiocephaly is cranial asymmetry caused by external forces on the skull. Deformational plagiocephaly is seen in 5% to 48% of healthy newborns. Incomplete uvular fusion, in contrast, is one of many uvular malformations. The incidence of all degrees of incomplete uvular fusion is approximately 1% in healthy children.

Diagnosis and management of deformational plagiocephaly.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics, 2009
The increase in the prevalence of nonsynostotic occipital deformational plagiocephaly in infants, which resulted from the American Academy of Pediatrics' 1992 recommendation to have healthy infants sleep supine, has been accompanied by significant controversy in diagnosis and management. The controversy was exacerbated by the 1998 FDA classification of

Deformational Plagiocephaly: A Review.

Pediatric nursing, 2018
Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is a common condition and the leading cause of head shape abnormalities in infants. It is characterized by asymmetrical distortion of the skull resulting from external forces on the back of the head. DP has become more prevalent in infants and has increased dramatically since the introduction in 1994 of the “Back to ...

Incidence of Otitis Media in Children With Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2009
In the past decade, deformational plagiocephaly has seen a staggering increase attributed to the Back to Sleep Campaign of April 1992. With this increase, the possible clinical associations need to be fully understood. The anatomic changes seen include ipsilateral occipital flattening, ipsilateral frontal bossing, ipsilateral anterior ear displacement,
