Re: New here--indentation in back of son's head.

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group. Indentations are not common, as far as I know. However

some kids do get dents - mostly formed in utero if they were squished. The

neurosurgeon/doctor usually has to rule out craniosynostosis before banding.

Cranio is rare, but does happen. There is a cranio group too at cappskids.org. I

am not saying your dent sounds like cranio, because I'm not familiar with cranio

head shapes. However it is usually the only thing to worry about besides brachy

or plagio. Plagio is very common with tort, so since he has tort, it may very

well just be plagio.

Please let us know how your neuro appointment goes.

waiting until our neurosurgeon appt next week but there's a pretty obvious

indentation in the back of his head, in the flat spot, that I'm concerned is

more than just the plagio or brachy. Any other experiences with this or advice?
