[Posterior cranial dysmorphy. Classification and an original technic of correction: parieto-occipital transposition]

The posterior part of the skull, frequently overlooked, is altered directly and indirectly in numerous pathological situations. Lesions of the cranial contents, alteration of the lambdoid suture, abnormal constraints related to posture or to muscular activity modify the posterior curvature of the skull, generally in the form of flattening. Examination of the posterior part of the skull is essential in the context of neurosurgery and craniofacial malformations. The dysmorphy can be corrected by an original, personal technique of biparieto-occipital transposition restoring a harmonious curvature allowing immediate weight-bearing.
