Positional plagiocephaly.

Cranial asymmetry occurring as a result of forces that deform skull shape in the supine position is known as deformational plagiocephaly. The risk of plagiocephaly may be modified by positioning the baby on alternate days with the head to the right or the left side, and by increasing time spent in the prone position during awake periods. When deformational plagiocephaly is already present, phys...

'Skull-duggery' and the management of positional plagiocephaly.

[Surgical versus non-surgical treatment of posterior epistaxis].

A study was performed in order to compare the efficiency of surgical versus non-surgical treatment in patients hospitalized for epistaxis regarding the source of bleeding, and to identify failure-predicting factors related to specific treatments. 62 patients were included in the study, 36 (58%) of whom suffered from posterior epistaxis and 26 (42%) experienced anterior bleeding. The single fact...

Non-surgical Management of Congenital Auricular Deformities

BACKGROUND Unlike congenital auricular malformations which are identified by underdevelopment of dermal and cartilaginous tissues, deformed ears are less sever congenital anomalies characterized only by a misshaped pinna structure and can be improved with acceptable cosmetic results and minimal cost through ear molding if treated in early neonatal period. In this study, authors present the f...
