As many as 9 out of 10 infants diagnosed with torticollis may also have plagiocephaly. [cranialtech.com]

What Torticollis and Plagiocephaly? [childrensupportsolutions.com]

What is plagiocephaly (baby head shape flattening)? Plagiocephaly is a fancy term for flat head syndrome. [childrensupportsolutions.com]

Plagiocephaly differs from craniosynostosis in that craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more of the sutures in the skull, whereas in deformational plagiocephaly [cedars-sinai.org]

In summary, premature children with hydrocephalus have relatively more frequency of LPM in comparison to posterior plagiocephaly. [bioline.org.br]

Brachycephaly

Abstract The incidence of positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly in infants has increased. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathomorphology of a plagiocephaly is associated with the most severe asymmetry of the head. Plagiocephaly and brachycephaly overlap in several criteria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are other types of plagiocephaly, some of which are caused by a serious condition called craniosynostosis. [aans.org]

Craniosynostosis

[…] synostotic plagiocephaly to avoid progressive deformity, whereas deformational plagiocephaly typically improves without surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There was a 2:1 female preponderance in 47 patients with synostotic frontal plagiocephaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is important to distinguish the various synostotic causes of frontal plagiocephaly from deformational frontal plagiocephaly because operative intervention is required in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Isolated Trigonocephaly

Distinction of deformational plagiocephaly from unilateral lambdoid synostosis is important as deformational/positional plagiocephaly is almost never treated surgically. [ [ijri.org]

This specific skull shape is sometimes referred to as frontal plagiocephaly. [rarediseases.org]

Plagiocephaly is an abnormal shape of the babies head. Brachycephaly is present when the entire back of the head is flat. [greop.com]

Plagiocephaly Plagiocephaly is flattening of the side of the back of the skull caused by a baby lying for too long on its back with the head turned slightly to the side. [moveforwardpt.com]

Unlike positional plagiocephaly, craniosynostosis requires surgery and can be diagnosed by X-ray. What are the signs of positional plagiocephaly? [nicklauschildrens.org]

From these results we conclude that the majority of infants referred to neurosurgeons with occipital plagiocephaly can be successfully managed nonsurgically. [karger.com]

Craniosynostosis Type 3

Deformational plagiocephaly can be associated with torticollis. [chop.edu]

The patients in the study will be further subdivided into 3 groups: Isolated plagiocephaly (CVA >6; 75 < CI < 90), isolated brachycephaly (CVA 90), and mixed brachy/ plagiocephaly [clinicaltrials.gov]

(also called occipital plagiocephaly, posterior plagiocephaly, and plagiocephaly without synostosis). [aafp.org]

Trigonocephaly

METHODS: Patients with anterior plagiocephaly or trigonocephaly were included. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For the present report we investigated astigmatism and strabismus in 53 children, 39 of whom were operated on for plagiocephaly and 14 for trigonocephaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
