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 ...

Reference Values for Cranial Morphology Based on Three-dimensional Scan Analysis in 1-month-old Healthy Infants in Japan

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2022
Currently, molded helmet therapy is used to treat infants with deformational plagiocephaly. However, the indices of normal cranial shape remain unclear, and thus, the prevalence of deformational plagiocephaly is unknown, particularly in Japan.

Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for the Treatment Time of Deformational Head Shapes Using a Cranial Remolding Orthosis

Children, 2022
The cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) has been shown in previous studies to be an effective method of treatment for deformational head shapes. Many studies have shown younger infants achieve greater correction than older infants and generally have a ...

Aesthetic Correction of Severe Facial Asymmetry in a Deformational Plagiocephaly Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2017
Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) (also referred to as positional plagiocephaly) has long posed challenges for plastic surgeons because it is difficult to differentiate from several other diseases, such as unilateral coronal synostosis, hemifacial ...

Risk Factors for Deformational Plagiocephaly at Birth and at 7 Weeks of Age: A Prospective Cohort Study [PDF]

, 2007
The purpose of this work was to identify risk factors for deformational plagiocephaly within 48 hours of birth and at 7 weeks of age. This was a prospective cohort study in which 380 healthy neonates born at term in Bernhoven Hospital in Veghel were ...

Neurodevelopmental Implications of "Deformational" Plagiocephaly [PDF]

Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 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,

Head shape measurement standards and cranial orthoses in the treatment of infants with deformational plagiocephaly : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2008
The review aims to determine how head shape is measured and describes the use of orthoses in the management of deformational plagiocephaly. A systematic review was conducted and papers published in English up to and including 2006 were sourced from nine ...

Efficacy of pediatric integrative manual therapy in positional plagiocephaly: a randomized controlled trial

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2021
Background Positional plagiocephaly frequently affects healthy babies. It is hypothesized that manual therapy tailored to pediatrics is more effective in improving plagiocephalic cranial asymmetry than just repositioning and sensory and motor stimulation.

Cost and Satisfaction Implications of Using Telehealth for Plagiocephaly

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022
Purpose:. Patients with deformational plagiocephaly are often referred for evaluation by a plastic surgeon. During the early COVID-19 pandemic, visits were performed predominantly via telehealth. This study compares costs, satisfaction, and technological

Distinguishing Between Lambdoid Craniosynostosis and Deformational Plagiocephaly: A Review of This Paradigm Shift in Clinical Decision-Making and Lesson for the Future. [PDF]

Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr, 2020
The cause of occipital asymmtery can be either extrinsic or intrinsic. Intrinsic causes include lambdoid craniosynsotosis. This condition is generally treated with cranial vault expansion surgery.
