This disorder is called deformational plagiocephaly, which some people call flat-head syndrome or positional plagiocephaly. ❋ Laura Posada (2010)

A new study by physician researchers from Hasbro Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston identifies risk factors for the severity of asymmetrical head shapes, known as deformational plagiocephaly (DP), or more commonly as flat head syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2009)

-- A baby's sleep position is the best predictor of a misshapen skull condition known as deformational plagiocephaly -- or the development of flat spots on an infant's head -- according to findings reported by Arizona State University scientists in the December issue of the journal Pediatrics. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Following is a chart that breaks down the differences between deformational plagiocephaly and craniosynostosis: ❋ Laura Posada (2010)

This is clearly a very small price to pay in order to avoid SIDS, but deformational plagiocephaly must be recognized when it occurs. ❋ Laura Posada (2010)

We have to be able to quickly distinguish between an intrinsic skull problem (craniosynostosis) and one that occurs on the extrinsic level (deformational plagiocephaly). ❋ Laura Posada (2010)

In craniosynostosis, the head shape occurs because of an intrinsic problem, an internal action on the bone; whereas in deformational plagiocephaly the issue is extrinsic. ❋ Laura Posada (2010)
