Conclusions  We found a noticeable developmental risk for specific language impairment in children with nonsyndromic SSC, and that the
deviant language development is observable already in early infancy. Contrary to previous beliefs, the developmental risk
for defective language development in deformational posterior plagiocephaly was found in both operated and non-operated subjects.
