Periocular asymmetry in patients with deformational plagiocephaly

Deformational Plagiocephaly (DP) refers to a misshapen skull in infants caused by repeated pressure to the same area of the back of the head, commonly produced by sleep position, birth trauma, torticollis, or in utero constraint. Its main features are occipital flatness and facial asymmetry. The prevalence of amblyopia in patients with DP is similar to the general population . The purpose of this study was to identify whether there are clinically significant periocular features associated with DP.
