HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Asymmetric head shape, which is usually a combination of unilateral occipital flattening with ipsilateral frontal prominence, leading to rhomboid cranial shape.
Comment:Plagiocephaly may affect the posterior skull alone. With plagiocephaly, one can see a combination of unilateral occipital flattening with ipsilateral frontal prominence, leading to rhomboid cranial shape or asymmetry of the posterior skull alone.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Flat head syndrome;   Flattening of cranial vault;   Flattening of cranium;   Flattening of skull;   rhomboid shaped cranium;   rhomboid shaped skull
 narrow_synonym: Flattening of head;   deformational plagiocephaly;   positional plagiocephaly
 broad_synonym: Flat head;   asymmetry of the posterior cranium;   asymmetry of the posterior head;   asymmetry of the posterior skull;   rhomboid shaped head
