Abstract
The term of 'plagiocephaly' coined by Virchow in 1851, that literally means 'cranial asymmetry' has been applied to dysmorphic skulls that look similar but which sometimes have a different etiology. The authors report a new clinical classification of plagiocephaly in order to simplify the categorization of this disease. A series of 100 patients with plagiocephaly were observed and treated. A clinical investigation of these cases, some considerations about the techniques used, the analysis of the results and a long-term follow-up complete the study reported.
