Deformational Plagiocephaly
Deformational or positional plagiocephaly often called “flat-head syndrome” referring to the flattening on one side at the back (posterior aspect) of the head and bossing or prominent area of growth on the opposite frontal (front) aspect.
​
Deformational Asymmetrical Brachycephaly
Deformational asymmetric brachycephaly is often used to describe a head shape which can be described as a combination of both plagiocephaly and brachycephaly characteristics.
The baby’s head shape is disproportionately wider compared to its length but it also has a certain amount of asymmetry involved. It may include asymmetry of the forehead and facial features too.
