- Plagiocephaly is a diagonal asymmetry across the head shape. (wikipedia.org)
- Slight plagiocephaly is routinely diagnosed at birth and may be the result of a restrictive intrauterine environment giving a "diamond" shaped head when seen from above. (wikipedia.org)
- Data also suggest that the rates of plagiocephaly are higher for twins and multiple births, premature babies, babies who were positioned in the breech position or back-to-back, as well as for babies born after a prolonged labour. (wikipedia.org)
- Deformational plagiocephaly may be caused by compressive forces in utero (eg, multiple births) or by constant pressure on one portion of the newborn's malleable skull when the infant is kept in the same supine position for prolonged periods. (contemporarypediatrics.com)
- The term 'plagiocephaly,' from the Greek words plagio (oblique, slanted, or twisted) and kephale (head), simply describes an asymmetrical cranium. (contemporarypediatrics.com)

- Fontanels are the fibrous, membrane-covered gaps created when more than two cranial bones are juxtaposed, as opposed to sutures, which are narrow seams of fibrous connective tissue that separate the flat bones of the skull. (aafp.org)
- Plain radiographs of the skull are the least expensive way to evaluate the sutures and cranial bones, but they are limited by the lack of mineralization of the neonatal cranium. (aafp.org)
Craniosynostosis2
- If there is premature union of skull bones, this is more properly called craniosynostosis. (wikipedia.org)
- Deformity of the skull in infants may develop from conditions such as craniosynostosis or from mechanical forces that put pressure on the malleable cranial bones. (contemporarypediatrics.com)
Anterior4
- The anterior fontanelle is the most prominent in the midline portion of the skull. (contemporarypediatrics.com)

Backs1
- No. Babies in many other cultures also sleep exclusively on their backs and no flat back of the head has been observed there. (natalieclauss.de)
Intrauterine1
- The current thinking is that mechanical stress on the developing cranium due to intrauterine head constraint is causative in at least some cases. (musculoskeletalkey.com)

Back of the head3
- Since the topic of the flattened back of the head (and front of the head) comes up again and again in various reference books and I also dealt with it during my training as an occupational therapist, I am no stranger to the phenomenon. (natalieclauss.de)
- So if the round back of the head is missing, part of this schema is also lost. (natalieclauss.de)
- In addition, baby sleep also plays a role in relation to the back of the head, of course. (natalieclauss.de)
Baby4
- However, since I am watching my child here, I can also lay my baby sideways, although the positioning is not quite as easy in this case. (natalieclauss.de)
- It is basically not optimal to feed your baby in the supine position. (natalieclauss.de)
- As a result, a baby is never in the same position for long. (natalieclauss.de)
- Since the baby is put to sleep on its back after birth, even in the absence of risk factors, its head, resting repeatedly on the same area, quickly runs to flattening and, lacking any preventive intervention, the deformity is likely to persist if not worsen. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Results3
- Dysfunction in the local muscles results in inhibition of function, delayed timing or recruitment deficiencies and loss of segmental control and neutral joint positioning. (physio-pedia.com)
- Dysfunction results in sensorimotor impairment, altered kinesthetic sense such as reduced balance , joint position, altered oculomotor control and can lead to cervicogenic dizziness. (physio-pedia.com)
