any connections between plagiocephaly and hydrocephalus?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am new to the group. My baby Henry is now 18 months old. He was

diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 10 months and was shunted very quickly.

My wife had a breech presentation and Henry was delivered by C-section.

He had torticollis but is now totally healed on his own. However, his

plagiocephaly is still quite obviously seen from the back. Both our

pediatrician and neurosurgeon do not think that we need to do anything

about the shape of Henry's head. He looks perfectly fine from the

front. I am wondering whether the breech presentation, which apparently

caused his torticollis and plagiocephaly, has anything to do with his

hydrocephalus. Henry's hydrocephalus is communicating and without any

know cause (no tumor, bleeding or anything obvious). He also had no

obvious symptoms except a large head circumference.

Does anyone have a similar situation?

Best,
