Plagiocephaly (plagio=oblique + cephaly=head) This condition presents with a lop-sided or twisted appearance to the head, with one side of the forehead or posterior head pushing out farther than the other. [augusta.edu]
Frequency: Past and Present While the rates of brachycephaly and plagiocephaly appear to have been affected by the Back to Sleep campaign, there are no reports of a similar increase in scaphocephaly. [babyflathead.org]

Note the improvement but without the correction of the malocclusion; this will await orthognathic surgery during the patient’s teenage years. [pocketdentistry.com]
Infants with Crouzon or Apert syndromes face many similar potential clinical problems such as proptosis, shallow orbits, hypertelorism, strabismus, malocclusion, and hearing loss; many of these features are directly associated with bilateral coronal synostosis [eyewiki.aao.org]
More severely affected individuals (for example, IV:11 and III:3) are male and have scaphocephaly, macrocephaly, a high forehead, marked mid-face hypoplasia with severe maxillary retrusion, relative or absolute prognathism, and class III malocclusion. [jmg.bmj.com]

- Thick Lips
lips, prominent ears, and camptodactyly (abnormally flexed fingers). trisomy 13 syndrome holoprosencephaly due to an extra chromosome 13, in which central nervous system defects are associated with mental retardation, cleft lip and palate, polydactyly [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
- Mid-Face Hypoplasia
[…] resulting from coronal synostosis is the predominant cranial deformity, and this is variably associated with mid-face hypoplasia, broad toes, syndactyly, and intellectual deficits. [jmg.bmj.com]
Workup
Sleep apnea may be central, obstructive, or of mixed origin; proper workup and assessment are crucial to the establishment of the correct diagnosis and treatment. * Central apnea may result from intracranial hypertension. [pocketdentistry.com]
Treatment
In parallel with the increase in basic biological understanding, advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment have been achieved including improved prenatal imaging technology and craniofacial surgical techniques as well as condition-specific care in [books.google.com]
Treatments [ edit ] The major treatment is surgery for most babies. The type of surgery which they would undergo differs from age and strength they have. [en.wikipedia.org]
Apert Syndrome - Born with Apert syndrome, Madison received treatment from the Neonatal Craniofacial Program at CHOP. [chop.edu]
She assured Taylor’s parents that treatment at this early stage could be very effective. Taylor’s physical therapist explained that Taylor’s treatment would focus on clinical and home treatment techniques. [moveforwardpt.com]

Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Treatment is often with a cranioplasty. Abnormal intracranial pressure may affect neurocognition. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis In general, a single operation is all that is necessary to treat this condition and the cosmetic and clinical outcomes are usually excellent especially for otherwise healthy, nonsyndromic infants. [skullbaseinstitute.com]
The prognosis for Type 2 patients is poor, with a high likelihood of neurologic problems and early death. [craniokids.co.za]
The severity of the cranial bone deformations, associated systemic abnormalities and age of diagnosis may yield variable treatment outcomes and overall prognosis [6]. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Etiology
The etiology of craniosynostosis is heterogeneous. Isolated occurrence with unknown etiology is common, mostly affecting the sagittal suture. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
In the last two decades increased knowledge about the structure and function of the human genome has enabled the discovery of the molecular etiologies of most forms of syndromic craniosynostosis, which in turn has allowed for the analysis of normal and [books.google.com]
Occurrence Asymmetry of the head is a common occurrence in infants and may have a number of etiologies, including positional deformity, simple craniosynostosis, complex craniofacial synostosis, metabolic bone disease, depressed skull fracture, microcephaly [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Etiology Craniosynostosis has been estimated to occur in 1:2000 to 1:2500 births. [www2.aofoundation.org]
This suggests a yet-to-be-identified single-gene, autosomal dominant genetic etiology. [nature.com]

Prevention
Plagiocephaly treatment Expert recommendations for treating flat head syndrome sound a lot like their suggestions for preventing it: Repositional therapy involves preventing baby from resting on the flattened spot all the time. [thebump.com]
Prevention The best treatment for a flat head is to prevent it from happening. It is important to establish these habits early! When flattening is noticed early, the same techniques used for prevention can help nip it in the bud. [healthychildren.org]
Infant monitors and apparent life-threatening events Infant monitors should not be used to prevent SIDS. There is no evidence that apparent life-threatening events are precursors to SIDS. [aafp.org]
The protein produced by PTEN genes acts as a tumor suppressor that helps in preventing cells from growing and dividing in an abnormal or uncontrolled way When a defect or mutation in this gene occurs, the cell proliferation process is affected, which [dovemed.com]
