difference between brachy and positional

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

what is the difference between brachy and positional. My sons cciis

87.9% they told me his is just positional I wasnted to know if that is

normal or what is supposed to be the normal Index. I am still waiting

if ins. will pay for it.

The CI or Cephalic Index measures the severity of Brachycephaly. It equals

the Cranial Breadth/Cranial Length

ideal ratio - 78%

normal - 73-83%

moderate - 83.1% to 87.9%

severe - 88% and higher

So at a CI of 87.9% your son is in the normal range and does not have

brachy.

Positional Plagiocephaly is a flatness on one side of the head; the head may

look like a parallelogram when you look at it from the top down. Plagio

severity is measured by comparing the difference in the diagonal lengths of

the head.

0-3 mm is normal

<6 mm is very mild

6-10 mm is mild

10-15 mm is moderate

15+ mm is severe

Did you son's doctor give you any measurement for this?
