I was wondering if there are any vision issues related to plagio?

I think my sons eyes might be a bit off but I'm not sure.

Sherry,

When ds was 2yo I took him to a Ped Opthalmologist because I was

worried about his eyes. He was fine, but the doctor told me he does

see a lot of kids with untreated plagiocephaly.

Plagio and tort can really cause facial asymmetry.

Let us know how Chase's fitting goes :)

In poking around PubMed ( www.pubmed.gov ) I've come across a few studies linking plagio and eye problems.  The most recent one I recall is this one:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=12867869 & query_hl=4 & itool=pubmed_docsumThey found a correlation between positional plagio and astigmatism, but not strabismus.  They found a correlation between craniosynostotic plagio and both astigmatism and strabismus.More anecdotally, our opthamologist suggested there may be a link between Carson's positional plagio and some but not all of his strabismus issues.Andy in MiamiOn Jan 30, 2006, at 8:00 PM, alwell_sherry wrote: I was wondering if there are any vision issues related to plagio?

Thanks - I'll read up on the links.

I'm thinking he might be slightly cross eyed and he definitely was

not earlier. I was thinking becuase of not being able to turn his

head well to the left from the tort. that it might be straining his

eye. So I guess it's more eye issues relating to tort.

It looks like the link to the abstract I included got broken up onto two lines during its trip through the email.  You may need to paste it back together or do your own search on pubmed.  I think I did plagiocephaly and eye.  If the eyes are looking crossed, strabismus is a possibility, so you may just want to read up on that on the web, and follow up with your pediatrician or a pediatric opthamologist.  I'm sure it's probably nothing, but if it is strabismus, from what I've been able to learn early treatment makes a big difference.  Andy in MiamiOn Jan 30, 2006, at 10:01 PM, alwell_sherry wrote: Thanks - I'll read up on the links.

Hi everyone! My name is , I am the proud Mommy of 9 month old twins Madison and Bradley. Both babies are being treated by CT and have Doc bands. Bradley is my plagio baby. His Plagio is due to uterine restriction and Madison has slight Plagio but is my Brach baby. She got pretty flat on the back of her head when she started sleeping 12-13 hours in a row. I am thrilled to say that Bradley graduates from his helmet tomorrow. Madison still has about 6 weeks to go (the neurologist didn't write her script till much later). We currently visit Cranial Tech's Atlanta office. Unfortunately they are closing and our last appointment there will be February 15. We will be traveling to North Carolina to complete Madison's treatment. Is anyone else going to be making this commute?

If your child has positional plagiocephaly, then the following article would be an appropriate reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=12867869 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum Kimalwell_sherry <type916@...> wrote: Thanks again - very helpfulI found another article that may be of help for us parents.http://www.kennedykrieger.org/kki_misc.jsp?pid=4201So I'll be calling my ped. to schedule an eye appointment tomorrow.

I'm really sorry to hear everything Chase (and you) are going through.

Before was banded her ped was watching her head growth, at

first she wasn't growing enough and then she was growing too much.

That was the only reason my ped referred her for a CT scan. It wasn't

for the huge flat spot on the side of her head! Still makes me mad to

this day. Aside from her plagio there wasn't anything wrong.

Isn't there another eye specialists you can go to? There has to be

more than one in your ins plan, right?

I hope your ped calls EI and blasts them! I'm sorry there is no excuse

for a 3 week delay in treatment. Keep on them!!

" Lastly I'd have to say to people who think that it's not important to

treat plagio, wait to treat or maybe never treat the plagio. thinking

it will get better itself unfortunately Chase now is an example of how

the complications of plagio. and related tort. And I can't imagine

what would have happened if we waited longer to treat it, waited for

insurance etc. or didn't treat it at all. The complications may have

been much worse. "

That is one of the main reasons I'm still here. It makes me insane

that pediatricians are STILL telling parents " it'll round out on it's

own. " " It's just cosmetic. " " No, your baby doesn't have tort. " And so on.

Vent anytime Sherry, it's what were here for. You're such a good Mom,

you're so on top of everything. Chase is a lucky boy.

Hugs,

Thanks I needed the hugs. I knew I could count on you for words

of encouragement. I don't feel relieved at all until I get to the end

of the day to type away the pains of my day in this oh so helpful

group. You know men, husbands, they try to be strong and not act

like they're worried. I therefore have to worry enough for both of

us.

I have a weird insurance plan that deals only with one particular

hosp. so actually I do have to go to a specific doctor/department in

the hosp. So I don't have a choice in getting a sooner appt. I may

try to get an appt. for through the Infantsee too just for a second

opinion. I'm finding it hard to trust what 1 person/doctor tells me.

Of course it's not ideal but it's all I an afford. Thank gosh for it

though with all this stuff that comes up we'd be living in a box from

medical bills.

It amazes me each day this plagio. that so many just dismiss as

cosmetic bla bla bla how it takes just about all my daily energies

for the past several months to keep on top of it. And I'm an

aggressive, perfectionist type person. We fix one thing 4 more pop

up and so on.

The Ped. will keep on top of EI I'm sure. I'd have to say they do

help out alot. The more people yelling the better. The squeeky wheel

gets greased. My poor husband is feeling bad that he's not doing

enough with Chase and he's getting worse. He does a great job with

him but we're not pros.

I forgot to note I thought his ped. would be more interested in his

band. She asked about how it's going but was not as interested in his

progress as I thought she'd be. I asked her if she wanted to check

his head. Although she's been supportive to everything I wanted to do

it made me wonder if she is not totally for treatment.

I have good instincts and I think that is it. But I guess I can't

complain since she is supportive. It's much more than others have.

About Chases tort he's had therapy since Dec. and it was improved

very quickly by Jan. it was not " noticable " now since then we've had

very little progress. He's keeping up with milestones but his tort

has not imporved I'm sure due to all the PT troubles. I know no one

can say exactly how long it takes to be resolved but isn't this a

long time? He's at about 40 degrees now I think. I see other people

that say tort resolved and wonder if it'll ever happen.

I dont' know if I mentioned it but I had a severe case of tort. a few

years ago and boy was it painful. I could not most my head a

millimeter.

Thanks I needed the hugs. I knew I could count on you for words

of encouragement. I don't feel relieved at all until I get to the end

of the day to type away the pains of my day in this oh so helpful

group. You know men, husbands, they try to be strong and not act

like they're worried. I therefore have to worry enough for both of

us.

I have a weird insurance plan that deals only with one particular

hosp. so actually I do have to go to a specific doctor/department in

the hosp. So I don't have a choice in getting a sooner appt. I may

try to get an appt. for through the Infantsee too just for a second

opinion. I'm finding it hard to trust what 1 person/doctor tells me.

Of course it's not ideal but it's all I an afford. Thank gosh for it

though with all this stuff that comes up we'd be living in a box from

medical bills.

It amazes me each day this plagio. that so many just dismiss as

cosmetic bla bla bla how it takes just about all my daily energies

for the past several months to keep on top of it. And I'm an

aggressive, perfectionist type person. We fix one thing 4 more pop

up and so on.

The Ped. will keep on top of EI I'm sure. I'd have to say they do

help out alot. The more people yelling the better. The squeeky wheel

gets greased. My poor husband is feeling bad that he's not doing

enough with Chase and he's getting worse. He does a great job with

him but we're not pros.

I forgot to note I thought his ped. would be more interested in his

band. She asked about how it's going but was not as interested in his

progress as I thought she'd be. I asked her if she wanted to check

his head. Although she's been supportive to everything I wanted to do

it made me wonder if she is not totally for treatment.

I have good instincts and I think that is it. But I guess I can't

complain since she is supportive. It's much more than others have.

About Chases tort he's had therapy since Dec. and it was improved

very quickly by Jan. it was not " noticable " now since then we've had

very little progress. He's keeping up with milestones but his tort

has not imporved I'm sure due to all the PT troubles. I know no one

can say exactly how long it takes to be resolved but isn't this a

long time? He's at about 40 degrees now I think. I see other people

that say tort resolved and wonder if it'll ever happen.

I dont' know if I mentioned it but I had a severe case of tort. a few

years ago and boy was it painful. I could not most my head a

millimeter.

Hey Sherry,

It makes me really happy how you find the group to be so helpful. It

makes it all worth it. :-) I know about husbands not worrying like we

do. Sometimes I think they do it in private, you know what I mean? Too

manly to talk about it, so keep it all inside.

It stinks about your insurance but it could be worse, you could be

without any insurance, rigth?

Doesn't it blow you away how many posts are posted daily about

uneducated doctors giving out misinformation?? I really thought this

would stop, that peds and nurses would get educated about tort and

plagio and educate the parents. Doesn't seem to be happening. '

It's common for tort to rear its ugly head time and again, especially

when the baby reaches a new milestone. It's recommended that a baby

stay in PT at least until they're walking. Tort can also come back due

to teething, or the baby getting sick.

OUCH! How did your tort get resolved?

yes I do find it tremendously helpful because I have a

wonderful sister who listens to me but she can't really understand.

And my other siblings are busy with their babies. We had a baby boom

this past year 7 babies in my family and my husbands including twins!

Yes I'm surprised too about the lack of education about plagio. and

tort. too. But I don't believe is it completely their fault

technically. I'd done some research and I think that's all they're

taught in medical school about plagio. to recommend repositioning and

then if that does not work say that over time it will become less

noticable. It has to get better with the numbers increasing so

rapidly. I'd read as high as 1 in 10 babies now.

It's funny my super in my building, who barely speaks english but

he's wonderful, asks me about Chase's band all the time and I

explained it to him and he was telling his 5 year old daughter in the

simplest terms I've ever heard " it's to make his head circle " . I

thought that was so cute. Anyway he proudly told me today, while

fixing my sink, that he'd seen the report on CNN about the

helmets/bands. I'd love to see that, I missed it.

My tort was resolved by going to a chiropractor literally everyday

and muscle relaxants. I usually don't like to take drugs but I had no

choice it was the only way they could even work on my neck without me

dying in pain. I think that's why I'm so sensitive about the tort. I

know the pain the babies must feel. Sadly I had to stop going because

they tried to steal $ from my insurance company. I had real ins. then

that could pay lots more $. My neck has never been the same. Chase's

old PT told my my neck is only at 40 or 50 degrees. Maybe one day

I'll do something about it. I've learned to live with it.
