Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hi all, I'm completing my insurance appeal, and I need an article I can print out that lists the possible long term effects of plagio (TMJ, vision problems, etc.). Anyone have a link to one? Thanks, Kia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Kia, Here is a few of the articles that we referenced in our appeals. If I get a chance later, I will find where I got them and send you the link. I know the second one is on the Cranial Tech website, but not sure about the first one. Dengenhardt, B. F., MD, "Cranial Dysfunction In Otitis Media", 38th Annual Conference Abstracts, 1994. , R.I., MD and Clarren S.K., MD, "Long-Term Developmental Outcomes in Patients With Deformational Plagiocephaly", Pediatrics, Vol. 105 No. 2, February 2000.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Thanks Debbie. I have been to that section and have found lots of helpful information. I guess I should have been more detailed in my email. In a sample appeal letter, there is a reference to an article: GRAHAM, J. CSMC PEDIATRICS/MEDICAL GENETICS: MANAGEMENT OF PLAGIOCEPHALY AND TORTICOLLIS, AHMANSAN PEDIATRIC CENTER/CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER, WWW.CSMC.EDU/PEDIATRICS/REFGUIDE/HELMET/HELMET.HTML Unfortunately, that link no longer works. I have tried to find that article (as it is cited as one that supports " positional plagiocephaly has been linked to respiratory and vision problems, migraine headaches, difficulty chewing and TMJ. " ) Does anyone know where I can find this article? Or a similar one that describes possible future complications? I have seen the article on longterm developmental outcome, but it seems to only mention a few of these possible problems (while it concentrates more on possible learning delays). I did send an email thru the web site to cedars sinai, but I'm not sure if I'll hear back. I'd really like to get this appeal in the mail! Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
