Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Kathleen, Frontal bossing is the bulging of the forehead that you see in the plagio babies. Brachy doesn't really do that, so I can see how it's difficult for you to picture it. Look at the pics of the kids with plagio and you will notice the forehead on the plagio side pushes out more. It sounds like the doc is saying the entire forehead is bossing, is that right? A twin huh, were they early? Could it be a possible scaphycephaly? This is a link to that head shape http://www.cranialtech.com/medicalinfo/assessment/scaphocephaly.pdf this will also show you a great example of forehead bossing. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi Kathleen Nice to hear from you again, of course not for the circumstances. I'm confused about the bossing evenly across the forehead, usually it is just on one side of the forehead.
