ABSTRACT
The prevalence of positional cranial asymmetry has significantly increased since the introduction of the "Back to Sleep" campaign. Some deformities require therapeutic measures, such as growth-guiding head prostheses. The diagnosis is based on the clinical features, a thorough clinical examination and measurement of the infant's head. Prevention includes early education of parents about alternative positioning methods. Early interventions such as positioning therapy and physiotherapy can be effective in mild cases. In severe cases, the use of growth-guiding orthoses is necessary. The treatment and timing are crucial as head growth is highest in the first year of life. Helmet treatment should be started early to achieve optimal results in order to achieve an improvement in the head shape and ear position. Multidisciplinary approaches including physiotherapy and osteopathy are essential.
