Positional plagiocephaly: evaluation and management

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2004
Positional plagiocephaly is a cranial vault deformation in the presence of open cranial vault sutures with no negative neurologic consequences. A distinct morphologic pattern and patent cranial sutures noted on confirmatory radiographic studies distinguish positional plagiocephaly from abnormal head shapes secondary to craniosynostosis.

Occipital plagiocephaly: unilateral lambdoid synostosis versus positional plagiocephaly

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2014
We defined parameters that could differentiate between positional and synostotic plagiocephaly and defined a diagnostic chart for decision making.Prospective study.We examined 411 children with non-syndromic skull abnormalities between January 2011 and December 2012.A total of 8 infants under 1 year of age with proven unilateral non-syndromic lambdoid ...

An Assistive Device for the Treatment of Positional Plagiocephaly

Journal Of Craniofacial Surgery, 2000
An assistive device (AD) was used to treat 122 infants with moderate-to-severe positional plagiocephaly. Clinical evaluations indicate that the AD provided the most benefit when applied to 2- to 8-month-old children. Our results suggest that the AD may join molding helmets and physical therapy as a treatment for moderate-to-severe positional ...
