Medical Conditions - Plagiocephaly

Plagiocephaly is a disorder characterized by a flattened appearance of the baby's head due to increased pressure in a particular area. Baby's position inside the womb, muscular torticollis, and premature infants who spend most of the time in an identical position in the neonatal intensive care unit are also possible causes for plagiocephaly. It is treatable with the help of specific exercises, molding cups, corrective headbands, and modifying sleep positions.
