Pitfalls for the pediatrician: positional molding or craniosynostosis?
Abnormal head morphology is common among infants and often leads parents to ask their pediatricians for guidance. While the vast majority of such children development and prevent adverse neurobehavioral sequelae secondary to increased intracranial pressure or impaired cerebral growth. The coordination of a multidisciplinary team in the setting of a center experienced in the management of craniosynostosis will assure the best possible results for each patient.
