More responses to original question of techniques for Helmets to treat this Dx
Pat Peick;
I have treated 131 of these patients with helmets over the past 4 years
here at our Cranio-facial Clinic (Arkansas Children’s Hospital). In your
search you will find several techniques to measure and design a helmet
for this child. My process is not too difficult, uses very little
material and brings very happy parents back to see you every month. I
use a three phase process, 1) measure, 2) test helmet (1/8 duraplex), 3)
definitive system. If you are interested in my technique, give me a call

Pat, No problem.
And the plastic Surgeon here has just handed me a copy of an article you may
find helpful.
