Plagiocephaly shows as an uneven or asymmetrical head shape. The back of one side will be flattened, sometimes pushing the forehead and ear on the same side forward. One ear or eye may show higher than the other.
Congenital Muscular Torticollis, also known as ‘wry neck’ is a condition where an infant has an abnormally shortened and tight neck muscle that causes the head to tilt to one side while rotating the chin to the opposite shoulder. Babies with torticollis have a limited range of motion in the neck and will usually hold their head in one position which can lead to plagiocephaly.
Brachycephaly shows as an abnormally wide shape of the head as a result of a central flattening of the back of the head. Back of the head may increase in height and forehead may bulge when viewed from the side.
