positional plagiocephaly - back of head flat due to infant lying on back Definition for positional plagiocephaly Positional plagiocephaly, also known as deformational plagiocephaly or flathead syndrome, is a condition most commonly found in infants and is characterized by a flat spot on the back or one side of the head caused by remaining in one position for too long. It can be caused by a condition called torticollis in which neck muscles on one side of the head develop differently, causing the head to tilt to one side, but more commonly it happens in infants of ordinary development who sleep in one position for long periods of time. some common symptoms deformity skull flat head some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 15 diagnoses head injury thalassemia intermedia hydrocephalus neurofibromatosis type 1 hypophosphatasia osteogenesis imperfecta types III and IV hypopituitarism   more do i have 'positional plagiocephaly'?
