The three-dimensional course of cranial development of very preterm infants during the first year of life
Background
Cranial measurements are crucial for evaluating preterm general development because they are a surrogate tool for evaluating brain growth. Usually, they are based on tape-measured head circumference; however, a three-dimensional (3D) approach expands the diagnostic spectrum to the evaluation of cranial volume and shape.
Aims
Very preterm (vPT) infants face multiple risks and obstacles in their early development. In this study, we analyze the risk for cranial anomalies of vPT compared with term-born (TB) infants during the first year of life.
Study design and subjects
In this single-centre prospective cohort study, 23 vPT and 24 TB healthy infants were assessed. At term equivalent age (TEA) of vPT and time of birth of TB, and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of postmenstrual age, respectively, a 3D head scan was performed and cephalometrically evaluated regarding cranial growth (head circumference, cranial volume) and shape.
Results
Head circumference and cranial volume showed a similar course in vPT and TB. Cranial shape differed significantly between vPT and TB. At TEA, vPT showed longer and narrower heads (dolichocephaly), a difference that disappeared around the 6th month of life. Presence of plagiocephaly was initially similar in vPT and TB, with an increasing difference between both groups with a peak at six months when 34.8 % of the vPT versus none of the TB showed a moderate to severe plagiocephaly (p = 0.004). In vPT, cranial volume significantly correlated with cranial shape, whereas dolichocephaly at TEA had no influence on the further course of plagiocephaly.
Conclusion
Cranial development of vPT follows a different course than of TB in terms of cranial shape anomalies, while cranial growth remains unaffected.

期刊介绍:
Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival.
The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas:
Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
