Sažetak

Plagiocephaly is a term commonly used to describe congenital forehead asymmetry. Frontal plagiocephaly has been shown to occur in approximately 5% of patients, mostly males, with predominance of right-sided unilateral cases. The diagnosis is usually done at birth or within the first month of life. This paper reports a case of a 9-month old infant female with deformational plagiocephaly who presented left-sided facial asymmetry. The proposed treatment plan included craniostenosis and left orbital osteotomy. The creation of new bone growth zones produced a significant improvement of facial asymmetry.
