Abstract

Deformational plagiocephaly and/or brachycephaly(DPB) refers to the flattened malformation of the baby′s skull in different degrees in the posterior position or lateral position,resulting in an irreversible change in the nervous system lesions such as infants′ intelligence and exercise,which requires early intervention from clinicians in child care urgently. At present,relevant literatures at home and abroad have made great progress on the study of DPB. This review intends to describe the risk factors,classification,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of DPB,thereby providing more detailed clinical data for infants′ health care. Meanwhile,clinical prevention and correction of various degrees of abnormalities in children′s skulls should be done as early as possible to avoid dislocation or limitation of brain structure growth,in order to further improve the quality of life of children.
