Positional Head Deformities is not Associated with an Increase of the Psychomotor Development at 24 Months of Age

“…It has been shown that infants sleeping on their back reach motor developmental milestones later than prone-sleeping and side-sleeping infants [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] although they catch up by the age of 18 months [34]. It is also possible that some of the exercises proposed in this test are no longer appropriate for the current pediatric population (tying shoelaces, stacking blocks, stringing beads).…”

“…At the Paediatric Plastic Surgery Department of Montpellier University Hospital, two follow-up visits are proposed after this first consultation for children with PHD: one at the age of 18 months to confirm gait acquisition, head posture and congenital torticollis resolution (if present at the first visit), and another at the age of 36 months to monitor head growth and remodeling. During these visits, the following data are collected: symmetry or asymmetry of head rotation, shoulder positioning on the horizontal plane, head circumference, cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI), and PHD type [22][23][24] [frontal-occipital plagiocephaly (FOP), occipital plagiocephaly (OP), or posterior brachycephaly (PB)]. The skull deformity is measured with an anthropometric caliper.…”

“…Besides PHD, a developmental delay could be explained also by the child's perinatal history, such as the presence moulded baby syndrome [23] or of another pathology. Therefore, the perinatal history of each included child was collected from the record of the first consultation written by the surgeon.…”
