Abstract
Craniosynostosis is a developmental craniofacial anomaly, resulting in impairment of brain development and abnormally shaped skull. Restricted normal growth of the skull can lead to increased intracranial pressure and changes in brain morphology, which in turn may contribute to neurocognitive deficiency. The management of craniosynostosis, especially in the setting of craniofacial syndromes, is ideally done in a multidisciplinary clinic with a team focused toward comprehensive care. However, evidence has suggested the role of physical therapy in managing craniosynostosis, especially deformational plagiocephaly. The present review aims to find relevant evidence-based studies regarding the role of physical therapy in managing neonates with deformational plagiocephaly.
