\"plagiocephaly<\/figure>\n

Plagiocephaly in adults is a topic of concern to many people. One of the most frequent questions that we usually hear in our centers is whether cranial malformations such as plagiocephaly or brachycephaly can be cured and whether it is possible for plagiocephaly to affect adults. In general, plagiocephaly in adults is the result of untreated plagiocephaly in infants.<\/p>\n

The answer to the first question is yes. Plagiocephaly and other cranial deformities can be corrected if detected early and according to multiple parameters and degrees.<\/p>\n

Incidence of plagiocephaly<\/span><\/h3>\n

According to Aliyah Mawji, RN, of the Canadian Pediatric Society, in her article \u201cThe incidence of positional plagiocephaly: a cohort study<\/a>\u201d<\/strong>
published in the American Academy of Pediatrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The incidence of plagiocephaly in infants aged 7 to 12 weeks has been estimated at 46.6 %<\/strong>. Of the total number of infants with plagiocephaly, 63.2 % were affected on the right side and 78.3 % had a mild form. “<\/p>\n

Plagiocephaly disorder<\/span><\/h3>\n

We must be clear that plagiocephaly is a disorder that has always existed. However, thanks to research and technology, medical teams are now able to detect it early and it can be treated without harming the baby.<\/p>\n

However, as we have already said, this has been thanks to the attention and importance received in recent decades which has helped to detect and cure the cases<\/mark>. of plagiocephaly<\/mark>It is very likely that older people who were not diagnosed at the time are suffering the consequences today.<\/p>\n

What happens if you reach adulthood with a slightly flatter head than average? Unfortunately, plagiocephaly in adults is quite common.<\/p>\n

The main repercussions of cranial deformities are closely related to the degree of the malformation, they can:<\/p>\n
