Do we really need to see a neuro if ped ok's a helmet?

[Guest guest]

Hi plagio friends!

My question is this: My ped sent us to STAR already but now I'm wondering if we

should have visited a neuro just to make sure anything else was ruled out -

something more serious before we get started. My son has severe plagio from the

stats the STAR orthotist gave us and we wanted to get started on the helmet

soon. Should we wait and see a neuro first?

You don't need a neuro unless there are indications it might be more than

plagio. My daughter had severe brachy (flat in back). We saw a craniofacial

plastic surgeon, who is a specialist on head shape, but we never had a CT scan

etc, like some others do. You can request a neuro visit if you feel it is

needed, but I would go ahead with the band regardless.
