Re: need advice!

[Guest guest]

I'm assuming what he means by " the opposite of plagio " is that she has

a scaphocephaly headshape. In this case the head is much longer front

to back than normal. The normal head has a cranial index of about 78%

(width/length). With scapho the number would be lower than this (I

forget exactly how much) and with brachy it is much higher (my

daughter started at around 97%).

I don't really think Gretas head does look like the other baby because

he has a prominent bulge on one side. It is the asymmetry of the head

that makes it " plagio " .

As for Greta's pic, it does look like her flat area is filling in some.
