Cranial deformities refer to abnormal shapes or structures of the skull that can occur due to various factors, including genetics, environmental influences, or medical conditions. These deformities can affect the growth and development of the skull, leading to potential complications such as pressure on the brain or facial asymmetry. Common types include plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly. Treatment for cranial deformities often involves monitoring the condition and, in some cases, using a cranial helmet to help reshape the skull as the child grows. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct the deformity and ensure proper brain development. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for the best outcomes.
