Plagiocephaly - Causes and Risk Factors

​Causes of Plagiocephaly

This can be caused by the position of the baby in the uterus during pregnancy, or can happen during birth. The bones of a newborn baby's head are thin and flexible so the head is soft and may change shape easily. Flattening of the head in one area may happen if a baby lies with its head in the same position for a long time.

Complications

  • Facial Asymmetry
  • Torticollis
  • Contracture of neck muscles
  • Jaw and / or speech clarity problems
