| Sumario: | Plagiocephaly can be defined as the premature closing of thefrontal-parietal suture or unilateral coronal suture which is causedby a frontal-parietal (unicoronal) synostosis, and/or fusions along thecoronal suture. Plagiocephaly is characterized by facial asymmetry inthe frontal region, inclination of the head towards the affected side aswell as deviation of the chin towards the non-affected side. We herein present the case of a five month old female infant with plagiocephaly, facial asymmetry with right side predominance, posterior and superior displacement of the eyebrow and supra-orbital ridge. The case was treated with ipsilateral frontal-orbital advancement, at the RegionalHospital «Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos», ISSSTE, Mexico City. |
