Uno studio di coorte su neonati affetti da Plagiocefalia non sinostosica

Introduction: Plagiocephaly is a deformation of the skull with various etiologies. It may be synostosic or not, and is a consequence of the early fusion of one or more cranial sutures. This pathology can determine, if not promptly addressed, a bad development not only of the skull but also of the brain, depending on the severity of the stenosis.
