Incidence of cranial asymmetry in healthy newborns.
OBJECTIVE During recent years, coincident with the recommendation to position infants supine, the incidence of posterior deformational plagiocephaly has increased dramatically. The purpose of our study was to determine whether early signs of cranial flattening could be detected in healthy neonates and to document incidence and potential risk factors. DESIGN A cross-sectional study was perform...
متن کاملPositional 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...

متن کاملPlagiocephaly and head binding.
he practice of head deformation by pressure to an infant's skull dates back to 2000 BC when the Ancient Egyptians used head binding to produce a cosmetically pleasing and fashionable skull shape. 1 With an increasing incidence of plagiocephaly (asymmetric skull) this practice, with a modern slant, is re-emerging. A simple web search resulted in five " paediatric offices " offering such a servic...
متن کاملDeterminants of nonsynostotic plagiocephaly: a case-control study.
OBJECTIVE There has been a large increase in reported cases of nonsynostotic plagiocephaly in infants since the adoption of supine sleeping recommendations to prevent sudden infant death syndrome. The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the determinants of nonsynostotic plagiocephaly in infants. METHODS One hundred infants who received a diagnosis of having nonsynostotic plag...
