OAT Pediatrics Flashcards
What treatment choices are helpful in kids regardless of their age?
- Art
- Still’s
- Myofascial
- FPR
- Lymphatic
- BLT
- Cranial
What are common compression points in infants after birth and what can result?
- Jugular foramen
- CN’s IX, X, and XI pass through here
- Inferior Petrosal and Sigmoid sinuses
- Hypoglossal canal
- CN XII
If CN XI is compressed what muscles will be weak?
Trapezius and SCM
If CN XII is compressed what will be weak?
Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue
Compression of Jugular foramen may cause what dysfunction?
- Tongue motion → poor suck
- Intestinal peristalsis → constipation, GERD, colic
- SCM/Traps → torticollis
If the temporal bone is rotated in an infant, what can occur?
Internal rotation of the temporal bon increases the likelihood of OM and affects the most cranial nerves
If a newborn undergoes vaginal delivery with forceps or cacuum, what palsy may occur?
- CN VI → lateral rectus palsy
- CN VII → facial palsy
Which cranial bone is the most commonly dysfunctional in infants?
Occiput, resulting in:
- CN XII and IX → poor suck
- CN X → reflux, vomit, colic

How is most cranial dysfunction in infants treated? Which dysfxn is most common?
- self treated through crying and sucking
- Occiput
What is the preferred treatment types in infants?
- indirect treatment with short frequent sessions
How do you treat an infant with poor suck?
2 min:
- Sub occiput release (OA decompress)

5 min:

- Sub occiput release
- Condylar decompression
In infants what needs to be ruled out before cranial OMM treatment?
- Craniosynostosis
Plagiocephaly?
- parallelogram head
- flat head syndrome
- assoc wit htorricollis and lateral strain pattern
Brachycephaly?
- Head is wider than long
- back of head is flat rather than curved

How to treat plagiocephay?
2 min:
