Cosmetic and Cognitive Outcomes of Positional Plagiocephaly Treatment
Clinical and Investigative Medicine, 2012 Purpose Positional plagiocephaly is an acquired deformation of an intrinsically normal infant skull by sustained or excessive extrinsic forces. Non-surgical techniques include counter-positioning, supervised prone time and orthotic molding for more refractory cases. Long-term effects of positional plagiocephaly on development remain undefined, and this
