1
Q

Differentiation between positional posterior plagiocephaly
and lambdoid craniosynostosis

A

based on the shape
of the head, position of the ears, the presence of a mastoid
bulge, and the appearance of the forehead on the affected
side.

to differentiate Deformational Plagiocephaly from the similarly appearing, but extremely rare, lambdoid craniosynostosis.

This distinction can almost always be based
on physical examination
-The presence of a mastoid bulge on the involved side is nearly pathognomonic for lambdoid craniosynostosis and is rarely found in cases of positional plagiocephaly.
