Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I will try to be brief because it is a long story: My son's head regressed once and I am concerned it is regressing yet again. He is older (16 months) and everyone tells me regression now is very unlikely, especially given his slower growth, thicker bone density, etc. He graduated from his second helmet a few weeks ago (right plagio - final numbers were 4 mm off). I am going back to CT to have them assess, but am fairly certain I see regression. Is there anyone out there who has experienced TWO regressions? What was the cause? At this point, I am worried it is something rare and serious. For my son, the first helmet was required due to tort issues, the second one we reasoned MIGHT be due to unresolved tort *though very minor). Tort is resolved - or so I think (neck is soft, turns head well, no tilt). He moves around a lot at night, so I don't think it is a positioning issue. I don't think it's craniosyntosis as my son has no physical signs of it, x- rays were normal, and how would a helmet work (twice) if his head fused prematurely? The chances of regression are supposedly 1 in 100 so for it to happen twice, by my calculations, it would be 1 in 10,000! Something is just not right - is there anyone out there who has seen or heard of two regressions? Any help is appreciated.
