Molding at parturition, äs perceived subjectively, ranges from no reshaping to marked distortion of the infant's head. While clinicians easily recognize ,the highly molded head, there are no criteria for quantitating the degree of molding. The purpose of the present study is to describe quantitatively neonatal skull molding and the restitution of the newborn's skull from the molded state during the early neonatal period.
