This review synthesized current research evidence on the prevalence, risk factors, and
natural history of positional plagiocephaly. Research published between 1985 and 2007 …

Background Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is one of the most prevalent abnormal
findings in infants and a frequent reason for parents to seek paediatric advice. Objective To …

There has been a major decrease in the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
