Abstract / |
|
|
The purpose of this article is to objectively review the
past and more recent literature on deformational plagiocephaly to provide
a context for the accompanying articles in this dedicated issue. For this
review, the term deformational plagiocephaly is used to describe head shape
deformities whose etiology is mechanical in nature and is not caused by synostosis
or premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. This review discusses
the literature as it relates to specific treatment options and protocols
for infants with deformational plagiocephaly. Articles presenting data on
potential long-term effects of deformational plagiocephaly are also reviewed
and Table 1 grades studies based on the strength of the scientific rigor.
Table 1 also contains a synopsis |
