Introduction: classifications on cephalic alterations have great dispersion secondary to diversity of medical specialties involved in head region.

As result 263 papers was find on this topic and 22 papers were selected because provided classifications or modifications in this respect. This research analyzed the anatomical region, the classification type, the type of malformation and the magazine of publication. Results: there was a prevalence of the type of morphogenic classification in 60 %, the mostly classified malformation type of by defect (fissures and hypoplasia) in 72 % and the representative magazine of cephalic alterations classifications was the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery where 44 % of them were published. An integrative morpho-physiopathologic classification was suggested and internal and external validation was analyzed.
