A very high proportion of plagiocephaly sufferers present symptoms but it often goes unnoticed. Deviation of the plane of the eyes at ear-height, difficulty in turning the head to one side, a preference to sleep always to one side are indicators that the baby is suffering from CMT. If looking from the back your child is seen to have a fold at the neck as in the image, you can be fairly sure that it is CMT.
Early treatment is essential, on a daily basis and for as long as may be deemed necessary.
The long-term effects of untreated or unresolved CMT can be serious since the deformity due to plagiocephaly will be added to the facial skew provoked by a twisted neck.
