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.

Prolonged Survival With Homozygous Deletion of Exon 9 in Perlman Syndrome: A Case Report

Case Reports in Genetics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Perlman syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive overgrowth disorder characterized by macrosomia, nephromegaly, renal dysplasia, and characteristic facial features. It has both similarities and differences to other more common overgrowth syndromes. Pathogenic homozygosity is extremely rare in nonconsanguineous relationships.

Correction of maxillofacial deformities in a patient with unilateral coronal craniosynostosis (plagiocephaly): a case report and a review of literatures.

Frontiers in Dentistry, 2013
Plagiocephaly (oblique skull) is premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures. Frontal plagiocephaly is a rare congenital deformity in the skull that is the most complicated form of craniosynostosis to treat. Examination of all sutures is necessary for

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Biallelic SLC12A2 Variant Associated With Kilquist Syndrome (OMIM #619080)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

The Argenta Classification for Positional Plagiocephaly in Infants: An Inter- and Intra-Rater Reliability Study

Applied Sciences
Positional plagiocephaly is a common condition in infants, characterized by asymmetrical posterior occipital flattening due to external mechanical pressure. The Argenta classification is an observational diagnostic tool that classifies plagiocephaly into

Assessment of Registration Methods for Cranial 3D Modelling

Proceedings, 2019
Three-dimensional (3D) models are a useful tool for cranial deformation analysis in infants. The registration of the head 3D models to a known coordinate system is vital for the obtainment of parameters and indexes that quantify deformation.
