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.
