Re: lazy lambdoid vs. Positional plagio

Hi Heidi,

I think it's the same thing but with a different name. Check out this

Heidi,

It is my understanding that Lamboid Plagiocephaly usually involves

premature fusing of the coronal suture or other sutures.

Plagiocephaly's literal greek meaning is, twisted skull. The more

common plagiocephaly cases are referred to either as Deformational

or Positional Plagiocephaly. These conditions do not have any

evidence of any prematue fusing. Positonal and Defomational

Plagiocephaly are caused by either external or internal moulding

forces.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Lazy lambdoid is not lambdoidal synostosis.

>> " A very similar appearence to lambdoidal synostosis can be seen due

to prolonged resting of the head on one side only. This is the

condition known as positional molding or " lazy lambdoid " . It can be

difficult to tell the two conditions apart. In general there is

flattening in the back of the head on the side the child tends to

favor and compensatory bulging on the opposite side of the back of

the head as well as bulging in the forehead on the side of the head

that is flattened in the back. In addition, the ear on the flattened

side tends to be displaced forward as compared to the opposite

side. " <<

Hi Jeff,

never required surgery. They did a ton of cat scans over a

period of months.. They said it was hard to get a good picture.

This was 4 years ago.

Thanks
