Plagiocephaly, or “flat head syndrome,” is a condition where an infant’s head develops an asymmetrical shape due to external pressure on the skull, often caused by prolonged time spent in one position, and can be treated with repositioning, physical therapy, or helmet therapy, while more severe cases, such as craniosynostosis, may require surgical intervention. | The Bone Museum
