PLAGIOCEPHALY
Our present lifestyles (Maxi-cosy, car seats, active and mobile parents), in addition to the evolution in medicine (the recommendation to lay children on their back in order to avoid sudden death syndrome) lead to an increased frequency of babies with flat heads (phagiocephaly). Often the medical community gives a reassuring message to parents of its systematic spontaneous correction. However, certain severe forms or late diagnosis can lead to resistance with respect to classical treatment (kinesitherapy, osteopath, changing of position) and a treatment by dynamic cranial orthesis must be considered. Our team (neurosurgeon, ergotherapist, osteopath and kinesitherapist) is specialized since 10 years in the treatment of this frequent problem which often causes parental anxiety.
Contacts and Additional Information
The treatment protocol comprises a diagnostic consultation, a phase where the orthesis is created and a follow-up period.
The consultation and the follow-up examinations are performed in Belgium and Switzerland.
The phase for creating the orthesis is currently done only in Belgium (2 required consultations).
