Anterior Plagiocephaly – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1971525452

Anterior synostotic plagiocephaly is a form of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of one side of the coronal suture resulting in an ipsilateral frontal deficit and a facial scoliosis convex to the affected side. Elevated intracranial pressure is very rare and intelligence usually normal. Coronal suture often affected in syndromal context (Muenke syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen).
