Correlative vs. Causative Relationship between Neonatal Cranial Head Shape Anomalies and Early Developmental Delays

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Deformational plagiocephaly and craniosynostosis are two of the most common neonatal cranial head shape anomalies. Traditionally, both entities were thought to cause aesthetic concerns solely. Recently, many groups have demonstrated that both conditions are strongly associated with developmental delays. The relationship between the abnormal neonatal cranial shape and early developmental delays manifested in both conditions remains poorly understood.
