The Incidence of Positional Plagiocephaly: A Cohort Study

Pediatrics, 2013
OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence of positional plagiocephaly in infants 7 to 12 weeks of age who attend the 2-month well-child clinic in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.METHODS:A prospective cohort design was used to recruit 440 healthy full-term infants (born at ≥37 weeks of gestation) who presented at 2-month well-child ...

Treatment of positional plagiocephaly – Helmet or no helmet?

Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, 2014
Positional plagiocephaly has attained widespread attention. There is a lot of data on helmet therapy available, but the natural course of the deformity has not been investigated in depth. The decision for or against helmet therapy can be controversial.

Positional Plagiocephaly and Craniosynostosis

Pediatric Annals, 2023
Along with the decrease in sudden infant death syndrome due to the successful “Back to Sleep” Campaign, there was a reciprocal increase in cases of positional plagiocephaly (PP). The prevalence of PP significantly rose from approximately 5% to upward of 46% at age 7 months.

Management of positional plagiocephaly

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2008
Plagiocephaly is a term derived from the Greek (plagios– “twisted” and kephale– “head”) and describes an asymmetric head shape. The potential causes of cranial asymmetry are multiple and the most important aspect in assessing any child with plagiocephaly is the need to exclude the possibility of 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 ...

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.

Clinical Classification of Positional Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2004
Positional plagiocephaly deformities have increased dramatically in all craniofacial clinics in the United States. There are multiple methods for evaluating the degree of deformity, all of which are expensive, time consuming, and have poor reproducibility.

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).

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.
