  • Title: Plagiocephaly--new classification and clinical study of a series of 100 patients.
    Author: Roddi R, Jansen MA, Vaandrager JM, van der Meulen JC.
    Journal: J Craniomaxillofac Surg; 1995 Dec; 23(6):347-54. PubMed ID: 8839328.
    Abstract:
    The term of 'plagiocephaly' coined by Virchow in 1851, that literally means 'cranial asymmetry' has been applied to dysmorhic skulls that look similar but which sometimes have a different etiology. The authors report a new clinical classification of plagiocephaly in order to simplify the categorization of this disease. A series of 100 patients with plagiocephaly were observed and treated. A clinical investigation of these cases, some considerations about the techniques used, the analysis of the results and a long-term follow-up complete the study reported.
