A question concerning head shape

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I was hoping someone will have some ideas about this subject matter, and any

response will be appreciated. My son Dedric is 5 months old today and he

will be seeing a Pediatric Orthopedist very soon for the first time. My son

has torticollis(and we belong to torticolliskids), and I am also pretty sure

he has a case of plagiocephaly as well. His right cheek is puffier than the

left, forehead does protrude just slightly, right eye is slightly bigger than

the left, flat spot on the right backside of head just behind the ear. The

left backside of the head seems to be more rounded than it should be. I know

you are all saying, " that is positional plagiocephaly " , and that is what I

think it is to but lately I have become more concerned. Both left and right

sides of the head above the ears more to the top of his head, there are

rounds or mounds as the head flattens at the top. Kind of like when looking

from the back his head, it is an upside-down triangle. I hope this is not

tooo confusing to understand. Anyway I don't have a scanner yet or any

pictures on disk, or pictures as they really don't show what I am talking

about clearly enough. I was just hoping maybe someone else's child had what I

have described and what was the diagnoses?

I am worried that there may be more than just positional plagio, what do you

think?

Still waiting for the Pediatric Orthopedist appointment.
