Abstract

The cause of occipital asymmtery can be either extrinsic or intrinsic. Intrinsic causes include lambdoid craniosynsotosis. This condition is generally treated with cranial vault expansion surgery. Extrinsic causes include deformational plagiocephaly, which became commonplace after the "Back to Sleep Campaign" instituted in the 1980s by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The treatment of this condition is non surgical. Dr. Joseph Gruss was instumental in differentiating between these conditions and reducing the number of unnecessary surgeries that were previously being performed.
