Treatment of Plagiocephaly With Orthotic Helmets: Prevalence, Costs, and Inequities in Massachusetts

The Journal of craniofacial surgery (Print)
Positional plagiocephaly is a craniofacial condition resulting from infant positioning that applies pressure consistently to a part of the skull. This study analyzed the prevalence of, and costs associated with orthotic helmet treatment for positional ...

Artificial Intelligence Methods for the Argenta Classification of Deformational Plagiocephaly to Predict Severity and Treatment Recommendation

The Journal of craniofacial surgery (Print)
Introduction Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) can be classified into 5 severity types using the Argenta scale (AS). Patients with type III or higher require referral to craniofacial surgery for management.

Delayed Presentation of Unicoronal Craniosynostosis—Masked by Ipsilateral Posterior Deformational Plagiocephaly

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2022
Despite a greater awareness of the differential diagnosis of head shape abnormalities among pediatricians, the effect of deformational forces on calvarial morphology can complicate the diagnosis of craniosynostosis. In this report, we describe 2 patients

Effectiveness of Cranial Remolding Orthosis in Treatment of Nonsynostotic Plagiocephaly

Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics
Introduction The prevalence of cranial deformities, including nonsynostotic plagiocephaly, has been increasing, especially since the “Back to Sleep” campaign. Treatment of these deformities can use a cranial remolding orthosis or helmet.
