Plagiocephaly
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Plagiocephaly refers to a type of craniosynostosis in which there is an asymmetric coronal and/or lambdoid sutures premature closure. It can either be single or asymmetric multiple. Premature coronal suture closure is associated with the Harlequin eye deformity.
Differential diagnosis
It should not be confused with positional plagiocephaly, which is a calvarial deformation that results from external pressure and is not associated premature suture synostosis.
