Zusammenfassung:This study aimed to clarify the natural course of positional plagiocephaly using a three-dimensional (3D) scanner and investigate the effectiveness of cranial helmet therapy (CHT). One hundred infants with severe plagiocephaly who visited our institutions between April 2020 and March 2021 were included. Cranial shape was measured using an Artec Eva 3D scanner. A cranial asymmetry (CA) >12 mm was diagnosed as severe plagiocephaly. An infant whose CA subsided to 12 mm on the initial evaluation.
