16q12.2q21 deletion: A newly recognized cause of dystonia related to GNAO1 haploinsufficiency
The thirteen-year-old girl was born to healthy non-consanguineous parents, after normal pregnancy and delivery. The patient had a history of hypotonia during the first months of life, with torticollis and plagiocephaly. She had a global motor delay and delayed speech and language development. On examination, the patient showed macrocephaly, short stature, synophrys, long palpebral fissures, thin upper lip vermilion, low-set ears, short neck, cubitus valgus, pes planus and valgus and brachydactyly.

Application of Deep Learning Techniques for Automated Diagnosis of Non–Syndromic Craniosynostosis Using Skull
Non–syndromic craniosynostosis (NSCS) is a disease, in which a single cranial bone suture is prematurely fused. The early intervention of the disease is associated with a favorable outcome at a later age, so appropriate screening of NSCS is essential for its clinical management. The present study aims to develop a classification and detection system of NSCS using skull X-ray images and a convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning framework. A total of 56 NSCS cases (scaphocephaly [n = 17], trigonocephaly [n = 28], anterior plagiocephaly [n = 8], and posterior plagiocephaly [n = 3]) and 25 healthy control infants we...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 9133: Incidence of Congenital Muscular Torticollis in Babies from Southern Portugal: Types, Age of Diagnosis and Risk Factors
This study aimed to verify the incidence of torticollis in babies born in southern Portugal types, age of diagnosis and the risk factors. This study comprised 6565 infants born in the south of Portugal at Algarve University Hospital Center, Portim&atilde;o unit during a 5-year period (January 2016 to December 2020). The cases diagnosed with torticollis referred to the Pediatrics and Pediatric Physiatrist consultations at this hospital were included. 118 babies&mdash;77 (65.3%) male and 41 (34.7%) female&mdash;were diagnosed with torticollis. The incidence of a 5-year period was 1.5%. Spontaneous vag...

Does positional plagiocephaly affect the need for orthodontic treatment, and the mandibular and occlusal symmetry?
CONCLUSION: The need for orthodontic treatment is significantly greater in PP. Unlike mandibular asymmetry, dental asymmetry is not significantly greater than in the control group, testifying to the adaptive capacities of the organism.PMID:35818283 | DOI:10.1684/orthodfr.2022.81 (Source: L' Orthodontie Francaise)
