"Back-to-Sleep"

Since 1992 when the AAP suggested supine sleep position, the incidence of Occipital Plagiocephaly has dramatically risen.

Occipital Plagiocephaly: OP

OP may result from either:

Non-synostotic occipital plagiocephaly (NSOP)
- positional molding
- deformational plagiocephaly
Lambdoid craniosynostosis (LC)
- posterior synostotic plagiocephaly

OP: Diagnosis

Historically controversial
LC thought to be unique: characteristic radiographic findings not necessary for diagnosis
Lambdoid suture described as functionally fused or "sticky-suture"

OP: Radiological Diagnosis
