π£ Let’s Discover the Two Types of Plagiocephaly! π§πΆβ
1οΈβ£ Plagiocephaly with Craniosynostosis: the skull deforms due to premature fusion of the sutures in the skull. Surgical management and helmet therapy may be needed. π₯π‘
2οΈβ£ Positional Plagiocephaly without Craniosynostosis: the sutures between the bones are normal, so skull growth is not affected, but external factors like positioning can influence the shape of the head. πΆβ οΈ Early intervention is crucial to promote proper head shape development.
Understanding these different types of plagiocephaly is important for proper care and treatment. Let’s raise awareness and provide support for infants with this condition! Together, we can ensure every child’s healthy development. ππͺ
