3D-printed cranial helmet therapy for the treatment of deformational plagiocephaly [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsIntroductionDeformational Plagiocephaly (DP) is the most common cranial deformity in infants. It may be treated using molding cranial helmet therapy (CHT) or active counter-positioning (ACP).

Neurodevelopmental implications of "deformational" plagiocephaly. [PDF]
J Dev Behav Pediatr, 2005 Over the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in referrals to specialty clinics, craniofacial centers, plastic surgeons, and neurosurgeons for assessment and treatment of deformational plagiocephaly (DP). Though considered a medically benign condition, preliminary reports suggest that DP may be associated with developmental problems. However,

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

Positional plagiocephaly: results of the osteopathic treatment of 424 infants. An observational retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Italian Journal of PediatricsBackground Positional plagiocephaly is an asymmetrical flattened skull deformity whose incidence increased significantly in the last decades. Osteopathic treatment has been suggested to tackle early deformational sequences, in order to ensure the correct

Craniosynostosis in Siblings, an Extremely Rare Occurrence: A Case Report
Clinical Case ReportsCraniosynostosis (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 ReportsDeformational 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
