Summary
Plagiocephaly involves premature suture closure, leading to significant cranial base and mandibular asymmetry. Early surgical intervention may prevent long-term facial developmental issues.
Area of Science:
- Craniofacial development
- Pediatric neurosurgery
- Orthodontics
Background:
- Plagiocephaly is a common condition affecting infant head shape.
- Understanding its impact on craniofacial development is crucial for timely intervention.
