Unlabelled: Positional plagiocephaly is a common pediatric pathology that has been considered as a cosmetic condition, but recently its association with neurodevelopmental delay has been explored.
Objective: To perform a narrative review updating the findings of a 2017 systematic review on plagiocephaly and neurodevelopment.
Methodology: Articles in the MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and DeepDyve databases were reviewed, data were extracted from the most relevant studies evaluating their methodological quality.
Craniosynostosis (CS) is the premature fusion of skull sutures, with all sutures except the metopic suture typically fusing in adulthood. Premature fusion constrains brain growth, leading to abnormal skull shape and potential neurocognitive or neurological issues, along with syndromic features in some cases. While CS is rare, its occurrence in siblings is exceptionally uncommon and holds significant academic importance.

Background: BCL11B variants are associated with intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies, speech delay, and T-cell abnormalities (IDDSFTA) (OMIN 618092). The clinical features include neurodevelopmental disorders (psychomotor delay, intellectual disability, language delay, autism spectrum features), facial dysmorphisms, immunological manifestations (asthma, allergies and T cells decrease). The aim is to present a IDDSFTA case in Mexican population with a probably pathogenic variant that has not been reported before and to compare it with literature cases.

Objective: Provide data on a cross-sectional study of neurodevelopmental delays in positional plagiocephaly (PP) based on severity and flattening side on early childhood patients.
Methods: Neurodevelopment of 408 PP in patients with an age range of 3 to 59 months was assessed with Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) tests during and after their cranial orthotic treatment. Data obtained were compared with the cranial anthropometric measurements taken the same day the test was made, and results were segregated by flattening side, grouped by diagnosis and severity, segmented by age group, and split by sex.
