Quantifying Positional Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2006
The treatment of positional plagiocephaly is controversial. A confounding factor is the lack of a proven clinically viable measure to quantify severity and change in plagiocephaly. The use of anthropometric measurements is one proposed method. In this study, the reliability and validity for this method of measurement were investigated.

Congenital Muscular Torticollis and Positional Plagiocephaly

Pediatrics In Review, 2014
On the basis of observational studies, child health practitioners in primary care settings should consider the diagnosis of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT)in infants with risk factors from birth history for intrauterine malpositioning or constraint (C).

Helmet Therapy for Positional Plagiocephaly: A Systematic Review of the Tools Used to Diagnose, Offer Treatment Recommendations, and Assess Treatment Outcomes of the Condition.

Pediatric Neurology
BACKGROUND Positional plagiocephaly (PP) is an asymmetric deformation of the skull as a consequence of external forces acting on a normal and pliable skull. The prevalence of PP ranges between 19.6% and 46.6%.

Prevalence and Consequences of Positional Plagiocephaly and Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
The incidence of positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly in infants has increased. Treatment options include physiotherapy and helmet therapy.No information exists on the prevalence, cosmetic, and psychological consequences of plagiocephaly and brachycephaly later in life.

Perceptions and Preferences of Laypersons in the Management of Positional Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2020
Background: Uncertain clinical evidence for treating positional plagiocephaly, especially with helmet therapy, creates difficulties in counseling parents of patients. This study investigates layperson perceptions and treatment preferences for positional plagiocephaly to provide patient-oriented evidence for management.

Concurrent Craniosynostosis and Positional Plagiocephaly: A Scoping Review

FACE
Background: Craniosynostosis and positional plagiocephaly (PP) both lead to deformities of the infant skull. In some cases, patients may present with concurrent craniosynostosis and PP.

[Positional plagiocephaly].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2003
To prevent early sudden infant death syndrome, the health authorities recommend that newborn infants sleep on their back. This has led to an increase of positional plagiocephaly. The aim of this study was to describe this condition and to recommend a preventive treatment.This is a retrospective registration of 133 children with positional plagiocephaly

Torticollis Associated with Positional Plagiocephaly: A Growing Epidemic

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2005
The primary study aim was to identify characteristics of torticollis associated with plagiocephaly without synostosis (PWS) and to differentiate this from other forms of torticollis. The three commonest causes of infantile torticollis are idiopathic muscular causes such as sternocleidomastoid fibrosis, structural anomalies in the cervical vertebrae ...

High-frequency ultrasound confirmation of positional plagiocephaly

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2006
Positional plagiocephaly has become an increasing problem for pediatricians and craniofacial specialists. Diagnosis is commonly based on history and clinical features, but may be difficult in some cases when characteristic features are missing and radiographic studies seem to be necessary.
