Implication

Observational analysis reports high prevalence of cranial deformities in patients with facial asymmetry, indicating the importance of early intervention.

Key Points

Type IV deformities were most frequent among patients with malar asymmetry, occurring in 84.4%.
Patients with anterior protrusions often exhibited Type I deformities in 47.4%, followed closely by Type II at 42.1%.
The study classified deformational plagiocephaly using the Argenta system and cone-beam CT images for detailed analysis.
These findings highlight that severe untreated craniofacial deformities may have lasting effects, underscoring the need for timely treatment.
