An increasing number of parents engage in extended daily chest-to-chest contact with their full-term healthy infants for several months after birth as an extension of skin-to-skin contact in the early postpartum period. This practice is... more
The deformities described in this study involved both the skull contour and the cranial base. The custom of deliberate ring deformation of a head was known in the Early Feudal population of the Armenia. The individual had a rhomboid... more
To determine the effectiveness of helmet therapy for positional skull deformation compared with the natural course of the condition in infants aged 5-6 months. Pragmatic, single blinded, randomised controlled trial (HEADS, HElmet therapy... more
Deformational Plagiocephaly (DP) is a common clinical presentation. There is no consensus as to the aetiology of DP, there is no risk factor that is uniformly considered as dominant. The consensus about the pathogenetic factors that are... more
This study is about a human skeleton discovered in 2008 during the archaeological excavations in the Baba Cave. This belongs to male who died at 35‐40 years old. The deformation of the skull shows an occipital plagiocephaly caused by a... more
OBJECTIVE Cranioplasty is a reconstructive procedure used to restore skull anatomy and repair skull defects. Optimal skull reconstruction is a challenge for neurosurgeons, and the strategy used to achieve the best result remains a topic... more
We present the first report of the development of characteristic radiologic appearances of long bones during the first year of life in an infant with type V osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). We show the evolution of metaphyseal abnormalities... more
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to statistically evaluate the independent and interacting effects of biological and environmental risk factors that influence lateralization of deformational plagiocephaly (DP) in an attempt to provide... more
Anterior plagiocephaly usually occurs with premature synostosis of the ipsilateral half of the coronal suture. The forehead is flattened on the affected side, with a backward and upward displacement of the affected orbit. The bulging of... more
Deformational plagiocephaly, unilateral coronal craniosynostosis, and lambdoid craniosynostosis all cause oblique deformities of the skull. They are separate entities with different etiologies resulting in clear differences of physical... more
Correction of craniosynostosis is necessary in predominant cases. Surgical planning usually requires a preoperative CT to estimate the bony and intracerebral structures. A postoperative CT scan would involve a significant dose of... more
