Plagiocephaly generally refers to cranial asymmetry that may arise in infants due to various reasons. The most common cause of plagiocephaly is positional plagiocephaly, also known as non-synostotic positional calvarial deformity, which may arise from intrauterine constraint or extrauterine compression. Thereafter, it may be perpetuated by post-natal sleeping position, concurrent torticollis, or other neuromuscular conditions.1
