The question seems to be vague and incomplete as the requirement for the answer is not given. So, I am giving a general answer.
The correct answer could be - Positional Plagiocephaly.
Children or infants who have positional plagiocephaly typically have unilateral occipital flattening, along with the anterior displacement of the ipsilateral ear, and also, ipsilateral frontal bossing. When this change is viewed from the top it gives a kind of parallelogram deformity of the head.
The occipital flattening is seen more frequently on the right side. It cannot be treated cosmetically. Research shows an association in between the positional plagiocephaly and mental retardation, auditory disorders, psychomotor delay, and visual field defects.
