Relation Between Side of Plagiocephaly, Dislocation of Hip, Scoliosis, Bat Ears, and Sternomastoid Tumours

Abstract

A relation is described between plagiocephaly and four structural lesions in children who have two or more of these five features. The flat temple in plagiocephaly, a unilateral congenitally dislocated hip, a scoliotic convexity in a young child, and a sternomastoid tumour tend to be on the same side, and a unilateral bat ear on the opposite side.
