Why is the baby's head circumference too large?

A baby is a fragile little living being. After leaving the mother's body and coming into this world, it will be easily affected by various environments. Once the baby cannot adapt to the external environment, or is infected by germs, etc., he or she is likely to get sick and suffer from physical discomfort or abnormal symptoms. For example, if a baby's head circumference is relatively large, it is a symptom that the baby may have a certain disease. Such similar situations always make the mother worried. However, what is the reason for the baby's large head circumference? Will it have a big impact on the baby?

A baby's large head circumference means that the measured head circumference is larger than the normal value. This situation is generally caused by a certain disease. In clinical practice, it is found that the main cause of the increase in children's head circumference is hydrocephalus. Therefore, once the baby's head circumference is found to be abnormally large, and the head is obviously large and the body is small, then medical treatment should be sought in time to see if the baby suffers from diseases such as hydrocephalus and brain tumors, and treatment should be provided early to avoid causing greater impact on the child.

Note: Peri-developmental indicators

Nine to ten months

Boys: about 43.8-49.0 cm, with an average of 45.7 cm.

Girls: about 42.1-46.9 cm, with an average of 44.5 cm.

11 to 12 months

Boys: about 43.7-48.9 cm, with an average of 46.3 cm.

Girls: about 42.6-47.8 cm, with an average of 45.2 cm.

10 months plus five days, the girl's head circumference is 48cm, which is a bit too big.

But the child's height and weight are relatively high and heavy. It should be that he is born strong and is well fed. He can eat, sleep, play and laugh. There is no problem with his intelligence. If he is good, then it is normal. Don't worry.

At the same time, if the child has no problems with sitting, walking, speaking, etc., and does not cry, vomit, twitch, or have squinting eyes, then there is no problem.

Therefore, mothers really need to pay more attention to the situation where the baby's head circumference is too large and not take it lightly. If the baby does not receive timely treatment due to the mother's negligence, the baby is likely to face great danger of life. For the healthy growth of the baby, mothers need to pay more attention to any abnormal behavior or condition of the baby, so that they can detect in time whether the baby is in discomfort.
