Colleagues,
So I have a challenging case for the group.
Ptnt has a Left occipital parietal vascular mass consistent with an
AVM on a 5 week old. In other words, I need to come up with a design
that will allow him to freely turn his head but at the same time take
pressure off of that area on the left back part of his head and wanted
to reach out to our Craniofacial group for suggestions. Would a custom
helmet of a silicone or memory foam type, etc be the right idea or
looking for looking for some serious brainstorming here. Thanks in
advance,
