The subtraction of US1 and US2 gives an indication of the asymmetry of the head. normal 0-3 mm very mild <6 mm mild - 6-10 mm moderate - 10-15 mm severe - 15+ mm Brachycephaly Severity: Cephalic Ratio = Cranial Breadth/Cranial Length ideal ratio - 78% normal - 73-83% moderate - 83.1% to 87.9% severe - 88% + Molly California Nicolas, 11 months, tort & plagio, STARband 4/25/06 , 3.5 , 6.75 Normal Measurements? Just wondering what measurements are considered normal. My daughter was casted for a DOC Band today and it was also the first time that she had measurements taken. She's a brachy baby with a cephalic index of 95% - which is clearly not normal but I was wondering what is considered normal.... also for facial assymmetry. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Molly, Thanks for the info!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I am also having trouble interpreting the measurements from CT and don't know how bad things are for my twins. Can anyone tell me what the normal, mild, moderate, severe categories are for the following measurements? cranial width cranial length cephalic index cranial vault assymetry mid-face assymetry skull-base assymetry Thanks so much!! > > Plagio Severity: > Oblique at 30 deg (US1 and US2) = Length of diagonal taken at 30° on each > side (30° corresponds to the corner of the eye).

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 hi- i've been lurking for the past few months as we visited drs & doing repo. all drs (ped, cranial specialist, neurosurgeon, osteopath, & physical therapist (tort)) tell me daughter's assymmetry is mild & that repositioning will work. i went ahead & had measurements taken at CT anyway. CVA = 23mm Mid-Face = 3mm Skull Base = 7mm why are the drs telling me it's mild if anything 15mm + is severe. so confused! anyone else had similar measurements & had success with repo & osteo? am ready to just get band to be done with all the uncertainty!! thanks! > > Plagio Severity: > Oblique at 30 deg (US1 and US2) = Length of diagonal taken at 30° on each > side (30° corresponds to the corner of the eye).
