Posterior plagiocephaly

Posterior (A), superior (B) and endocranial (C) 3DCT volume rendered images show posterior plagiocephaly secondary to unilateral lambdoid fusion (arrow). The posterior skull base is tilted downward on the affected side (A), and the skull assumes a trapezoid shape (B). Note also that the posterior skull base axis (passing through the basion and opisthion) is rotated toward the side of lambdoid fusion and does not coincide with the anterior skull base axis (passing through the crista galli and basion) (C)
