Assessment of Facial Asymmetry in Slovak Patients with Positional Deformity
Objectives: Positional deformity (PD), also known as deformational plagiocephaly or non-synostosis, is a primary cause of abnormal head shape and asymmetry in infants. The most common type, occipital plagiocephaly, leads to flattening of one side of the back of the head or the entire head (positional brachycephaly). PD results from external forces on the growing skull, often due to childbirth and improper positioning during sleep. The incidence is approximately 1 in 300 births, with prevalence peaking between the seventh week and four months of age. Our objective was to monitor craniofacial parameters in patients with positional deformity (PD), to evaluate cranial asymmetry and PD severity, and to determine the relationship between craniofacial asymmetry and PD severity. Methods: This study included patients from the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the National Institute of Children’s Diseases and the Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. Craniofacial parameters on the right and left sides of the face were examined. Results: Significant differences were found in the upper and middle thirds of the face, indicating a strong association between positional deformity and facial asymmetry. Conclusions: the findings contribute new insights into craniofacial anthropometry and neurosurgery, enhancing the diagnosis of positional deformity in Slovakian patients.
