It almost always pushes the ear back and down on the affected side." Under "Specific Finding #2: The Outline," - "Parallelogram (Positional)": A green parallelogram outline frames a head shape. Text reads: "The whole head shifts into a parallelogram. The forehead comes forward on the flat side." - "Trapezoid (Lambdoid Synostosis)": A red trapezoid outline frames an asymmetrical head shape.
