Effects of Initial Age and Severity on Cranial Remolding Orthotic Treatment for Infants with Deformational Plagiocephaly [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
The aim of this study is to review the effects of an infant’s presenting age and severity of deformation on cranial remolding orthotic (CRO) treatment outcomes for patients with deformational plagiocephaly.

Helmet Treatment of Infants With Deformational Brachycephaly

Global Pediatric Health, 2018
Deformation of the cranium in infancy represents a spectrum of deformity, ranging from severe asymmetric yet proportional distortion of the skull in plagiocephaly, to nearly symmetric yet disproportional distortion in brachycephaly.

Paleopathological Findings of Dry Skulls with Plagiocephaly

Acta Medica, 2006
In literature, plagiocephaly is defined as abnormal asymmetrical head shape with unilateral flattening of the anterior and/or posterior part of the skull. It is classified as synostotic or deformational.

Alleviating abnormal stress on compressed cranial sutures: a potential mechanism for treating and preventing deformational plagiocephaly [PDF]

Italian Journal of Pediatrics
Background Abnormal stress in cranial sutures is strongly related to deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and is responsible for morphological changes in the skull, facial asymmetry, and abnormal facial tension.

Craniosynostosis in Siblings, an Extremely Rare Occurrence: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports
Craniosynostosis (CS) is the premature fusion of skull sutures, with all sutures except the metopic suture typically fusing in adulthood. Premature fusion constrains brain growth, leading to abnormal skull shape and potential neurocognitive or ...

A mechanical model based on watermelons for the study of dynamic cranial remolding orthoses [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Deformational plagiocephaly is a head deformity in newborns that can be treated in some cases with cranial remodeling orthoses that constrain head growth to reshape it. To mitigate complications arising from the treatment with these orthoses, and for the
