This book provides clear guidance on the prevention, early
diagnosis, and treatment of positional plagiocephaly. Information
is first presented on classification, epidemiology and
etiopathogenesis. Diagnosis is then explained in detail, covering
the significance of anamnestic data, physical examination,
differential diagnosis, instrumental examinations and
anthropometric measurements. Preventive measures such as "tummy
time" and physiotherapy are described and the role of orthoses,
osteopathy and surgery in treatment is closely examined. The
closing chapter addresses prognosis and complications. Positional
plagiocephaly is not only a "cosmetic" problem but can cause facial
and mandibular asymmetry, visual disturbances and cognitive and
psychomotor impairment, yet when correctly treated it usually
resolves by 6-7 years of age. This book will be an ideal aid for
pediatricians, neurosurgeons, maxillo-facial surgeons, orthopedic
physicians, physiotherapists and for all involved in preventing and
managing the condition.
