Baby's skull closure time

Any problems that occur with babies are a major concern for the parents, so the problems with babies cannot be ignored. How much do you know about the phenomenon of skull closure in babies? Many parents tend to panic when their children show abnormal symptoms. In fact, this is very bad. No matter what symptoms you encounter, you should remain calm and treat them calmly. Only in this way can you handle them well. Let's take a look at the relevant introduction below.

Normal children's anterior fontanelle usually closes between 1 and 1.5 years old. Certain diseases in children can cause the anterior fontanelle to close too early or too late. Factors that cause children's anterior fontanelle to close too early are common in brain maldevelopment or cerebellar head deformity. (You don’t have to worry too much, some children may close prematurely)

If a child is diagnosed with brain dysplasia, formal rehabilitation treatment is recommended. If conditions permit, you can use better neurotrophic drugs, such as nerve growth factor. Take anti-epileptic drugs for a long time to control epilepsy, at least for 3-5 years, and some people take drugs for life. Strengthen learning, start from the beginning, learn slowly, and don't be impatient.

There is a soft diamond-shaped area in the front part of the child's skull, without any bones. This is the junction where several skull bones are connected to each other, which is called the "fontanelle" in medicine. The fontanelle is larger at birth, and gradually becomes smaller with age, and usually closes at the age of 1 to 1 and a half. After the fontanelle closes, the child's head becomes entirely made of hard bones. When the fontanelle is not closed, you can see the outline of the fontanelle with your eyes and clearly feel the shape of the fontanelle with your hands. The fontanelle is diamond-shaped and soft in the middle. If you touch it carefully, you can feel it beating. This is because there are blood vessels passing under the scalp. The small fontanelle contains a lot of knowledge! It is important to pay attention to measuring the head circumference regularly. If necessary, under the guidance of a doctor, observe whether the baby's head circumference is within the normal range before the full month. If there is any abnormality, the growth rate of the head circumference should be checked every month or every two months, and compared with normal babies to observe whether there is any obvious lag.

After reading the above introduction to the time of infant skull closure, I believe that parents will have a clearer understanding of the relevant knowledge about infant skull closure. I hope the above introduction can help everyone. Of course, when a child shows abnormal symptoms, he or she must go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, accept the doctor's advice, and ensure the child's healthy growth.
