How is cranial deformation treated?

Patient's question:

My friend is a director in a company, and his wife is very understanding. However, my friend has recently been diagnosed with a medical condition. How is cranial dwarfism treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is a pleasure to answer your question: Cervical dystonia is caused by the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae, characterized by a reduced number of cervical vertebrae, shortening of the neck, and limited movement of the head and neck. The patient's neck is shorter than that of a normal person, the hairline at the back of the head is lower, and head movement is restricted. If there are no symptoms of nerve compression, conservative treatment such as cranial traction or occipito-cervical traction can be performed first. After the symptoms disappear, a head, neck, and chest plaster immobilization is given.
