Hi, I'm Carlos, and I'm 8 months old, I live in Madeira Island, and I suffer from postural plagiocephaly, I need a special helmet but it's expensive.

Hi, I'm Carlos, and I'm 8 months old, I live in Madeira Island, and I suffer from postural plagiocephaly. I tried to use the correction pad, but it didn't work, so my pediatrician recommended the use of a special helmet, but it only exists in Lisbon or Porto and its price is high, so I ask everyone for help so I can overcome this problem, and in the future may have a normal life. Thank you for all your support so you can have a bright and happy future. I count on you. Plagiocephaly (from the Greek plagio: obliquo and kephale: head) means the asymmetry of the cranial perimeter, usually with symmetrical or asymmetrical occipital planning, called “positional or postural plagiocephaly” (PP). The head can adopt parallelogram or trapezoidal configuration. An infant's skull has great plasticity and is not rigid, so it is not difficult to see how sensitive it is to external pressure forces. During the birth canal crossing, the newborn's skull suffers significant transient deformities, thus making its crossing possible. Regardless, other external forces, postnatal or even prenatal, can cause not so transient skull deformation. SO if this is not resolved the head and parts of the face when growing up were definitely deformed, with no possibility to change it later.

Plagiocefalia Postural

About the author

We are the parents of Carlos, Diogo and Claudia, and we ask for support for our son's cause, due to our unfavorable financial situation. We want to be able to help our child to adjust the shape of his head so that in the future he will not be affected by such deformation that would affect him psychologically. We have already tried to choose the orthopedic correction pad, but it did not work, so this is the only treatment option. Thanks in advance for all your support even if it is not monetary to at least give the floor so others can help.

Budget and due dates

We have until no later than the end of the year to own the funds, because the sooner the faster and more effective treatment will be cured. Prices: Helmet: 2300 to 2500 trips: 300 each (minimum 3) - 900 euros queries: analysis and molding, placement and adjustment and check up. - 200 to 300 euros
