Resumen
Craniosynostosis is the premature, abnormal, and non-physiological fusion
of one or more cranial sutures. Its etiology can be multifactorial and genetic
factors, bone abnormalities or environmental factors may be involved. Among
the different types of craniosynostosis we can find anterior plagiocephaly,
which generally corresponds to a non-syndromic craniosynostosis and which
can affect the patient in a physiological and aesthetic way. Hemi-coronal
sutures are affected in this condition. The treatment will depend on each
case, although many times it is usually the surgical choice in order to prevent
functional deterioration and improve the facial and cranial appearance
