Abstract
The cephalic index is a valuable and reliable parameter in order to differentiate positional deformities from unaffected skulls. Pathomorphology of a plagiocephaly is associated with the most severe asymmetry of the head. Plagiocephaly and brachycephaly overlap in several criteria. Therefore it seems justified to speak of a continuum rather than to differentiate between plagiocephaly and brachycephaly.
