SHOULD WE DO FURTHER TESTING (MRI, CT SCAN)?

[Guest guest]

HI MY NAME IS KELLIE, MY SON ZACKARY WAS BORN WITH TORT HIS PLAGIO AND

POSSIBLE SCOLIOSIS BECAME APPARENT AT ABOUT 1 MONTH PED NOTICED IT WE

WENT TO AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR HE SAID LETS DO PT WE DID FOR 6 WEEKS

WENT BACK TO SEE ORTHO HE SAID THE TORT HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY THIS TIME

ZACK IS 4 MONTHS OLD. THREE MONTHS LATER I FOUND A NEW PED (SOMEBODY

WHO WAS A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEGABLE RE ZACK'S HEALTH PROBLEMS) THEY SAID

LETS GET EVALUATED FOR THE DOC BAND, SO WE DID. NOW ZACK HAS BEEN IN

HIS DOC BAND FOR 2 WEEKS NOW WENDY AT CRANIAL SAID THERE IS NO WAY HIS

TORT IS GONE WE ARE KNOW BACK TO PT 2 TWICE A WEEK. WENDY SAID HE

SHOULD GET PT UNTIL HE IS 18 MONTHS OLD. SO MY QUESTION IS SINCE I

SKIPPED THE NEROSURGEN DID I MISS SOMETHING. HIS HEAD IS QUITE FLAT,

ZACK'S EARS A WAY OFF. SHOULD I GO SEE DR MANWARRING FOR HIM TO GET

EVALUATED.

The MRIs are just to check for cranio, or premature closure of the fontanels (spelling??). A really good orthotist can tell by the shape of a baby's head whether or not that is a concern. If your baby's head looks more like a parralelogram (again spelling?) then the plagio is most likely positional, and since your ds has tort, I would put my money on that, as well. My ds has tort and plagio, and we were never sent to a neuro either. I don't think it's something you need to be major concerned about, but if it continues to bother you, you can always make an appointment. Sometimes it's better to just put your mind at ease.
