I have seen so many babies with their head one side flat..or one side look smaller and other side big. Even my baby who is 22 months old had the same problem, when she was around 4 months old. I talked to my pediatrician and they told me that once they start walking pressure comes from the crown of the head because of the gravity and the shape of the head gets better and eventually it becomes perfect.And I can tell u that it is true because my baby's head is in perfect shape now.
and regarding ct scan why don't u take another doctor's opinion also. Kumuda replied. This may not be much to worry. ct
scan is probably a good idea just to
confirm and reassure that everything is
all right.

My doctor used to say that my son's head was asymmetric during the 2nd month, 4th month visit. She said that this happens because of the baby's position in the womb and then they get
used to it... so they tend to turn their
face to one side... so the head, face kind of becomes asymmetric... and the neck will become stiff. To avoid this, she said that the baby may have to wear a specially designed helmet.

this may or may not be the situation in your kids case.

hope this helps.
