Date: February 2019. Source: Pediatrics, 143 (2) e20182373; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2018-2373. Background: Studies have revealed an association between positional plagiocephaly and/or brachycephaly (PPB) and development, although little is known about long-term outcomes. We examined cognition and academic achievement in children with and without PPB, testing the hypothesis that children who had PPB as infants would score…
