High prevalence of cranial asymmetry exists in infants with neonatal brachial plexus palsy

Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2016
PURPOSE: This study aimed to: 1) evaluate the prevalence of cranial asymmetry (positional plagiocephaly) in infants with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP); 2) examine the association of patient demographics, arm function, and NBPP-related factors to ...

“N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate in reshaping of deformed forehead in patients with plagiocephaly” [PDF]

Pan Arab Journal of Neurosurgery, 2022
Background Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more of the calvarial sutures, resulting in an abnormal head shape and increased intracranial pressure. Its incidence is estimated to be 1 in 2,000- births.

Ocular Torsional Changes in Anterior Plagiocephaly

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
Introduction: Anterior plagiocephaly has been associated with a mechanical disadvantage to superior oblique secondary to the retrusion of trochlea. This posterior placement should theoretically strengthen the superior oblique in its torsion action both ...

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 ...

Three-Dimensional versus Two-Dimensional Evaluations of Cranial Asymmetry in Deformational Plagiocephaly Using a Three-Dimensional Scanner

Children, 2022
This study aimed to assess the measurement precision of a three-dimensional (3D) scanner that detects the geometric shape as surface data and to investigate the differences between two-dimensional (2D) and 3D evaluations in infants with deformational ...

Plagiocephaly

Pediatric Care Online, 2020
Key Points If preventive interventions are not effective, helmet therapy is the preferred treatment but must be initiated before 12 months of age. Positional plagiocephaly should be differentiated from craniosynostosis with ultrasound being helpful. Torticollis is a common cause of plagiocephaly.

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 ...

Saul Wilson Syndrome: A Case Report With New Features in Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Saul Wilson syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder caused by heterozygous de novo mutations in the COG4 gene. We report the first case from Saudi Arabia with previously unreported facial dysmorphic features, expanding the known phenotypic spectrum and emphasizing the importance of recognizing phenotypic variability in rare disorders.
