Possible Causes

Brachycephaly

The authors conclude that orthotic therapy is a safe and effective therapeutic modality for position cranial asymmetries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Positional plagiocephaly is the most common cause of cranial asymmetry. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Other studies have already showed major decreases in the value of the cranial asymmetry index with orthesis treatment. [scielo.br]

Craniosynostosis

The adverse effects associated with surgical correction of craniosynostosis include cerebrospinal fluid leak, injury to the brain, wound healing problems, cranial asymmetry [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Since the early 1990s, US pediatricians have seen an increase in the number of children with cranial asymmetry, particularly unilateral flattening of the occiput, likely attributable [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

The patient’s neurological examination revealed early signs of quadriparesis and was immediately taken up for posterior cranial fossa decompression surgery. [omicsonline.org]

When investigated thoroughly the case was identified as an undiagnosed case of Crouzon syndrome with Arnold Chiari Type I malformation with syringomyelia and asymmetry of [omicsonline.org]

Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome

The features of the syndrome include: turriplagiocephaly with a cranial circumference of 52 cm, facial asymmetry, low hairline, proptosis, antimongoloid slanting of palpebral [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

asymmetry). [rarediseases.org]

Systemic Features: Premature synostosis involves numerous cranial sutures with the sagittal suture commonly involved causing acrocephaly (tower skull). [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

In addition, the cranial sutures often fuse unevenly, causing the head and face to appear dissimilar from one side to the other (craniofacial asymmetry). [rarediseases.org]

Skull Fracture

Early recognition and surgical repair is essential to prevent the development of neurological complications and cranial asymmetry. [Indexed for MEDLINE] Free full text [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Growing skull fracture (GSF) is a rare complication of pediatric skull fractures and causes delayed-onset neurological deficits and cranial asymmetry. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Untreated GSFs may cause delayed-onset neurological manifestations in addition to cranial growth asymmetry. These enormous-sized GSFs may be difficult to treat. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
