Q67.3: Plagiocephaly
The shape of your head is different to other people's. This condition is congenital, which means you were born with it.
Your head does not have the same shape on both sides. With most people, the head is shaped almost the same on the right and the left. In your case, the difference between the right and the left side of the head is more pronounced than normal.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
