Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Luke's head tilts to the left so he favors looking off to the right therefore his flat spot was right posterior.When I first noticed it in early Feb and started repositioning his head became flat all the way across but the right posterior is still a bit more flat than the rest.Luke's head has a bump/ridge below that right posterior flat spot,just above the nape of the neck and the Neuro told me that as long as that bump hasn't flattened out there is still hope w/repositioing. > Hi Kelli, > I was just reading your post and you mentioned Bracycephaly (sp?) was Luke's > head shape, but he favors one side because of the tort.
