I wouldn't jump the gun with his head size yet, if he's always had a large head then it should be ok. I think they would worry if it was in the 50th and then jumped to the 100th. I know you will mention it to your Neurosurgeon when you go, so I am sure he will ease your mind. Keep us posted. Try not to worry too much. I know, easier said then done. Hopefully I will see you next week.. Joanmom to Hayden 2 1/233 degrees1st cast down from 62 degrees Treated at ish Rite Hospital Dallas, TX

Hello all,We went today for Isaiah's 15 mo well baby check. I had just posted that at his 12 mo check he was approx. average in height and weight. Well not the case anymore!! He was in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. So i guess he does fit into the "typical" body frame for a scoli kid as we had discussed earlier. I am concerned about his head size. He has always had a big head usually 97%tile on the charts but today he is over 100%...totally off the charts! His neurosurgeon who did his Chiari surgery had said it was large and had some extra fluid but it wasnt large enough to be considered hydrocephalus and he did not need a shunt. We see him again this month and im afraid of what he might say now...does anyone else have a child with such a big head size, low weight and scoli? Is this typical for scoli kids? His new doctor is a family practice doc in a small town so i think he mostly sees geriatric patients so you can imagine his

suprise at all of Isaiah's medical issues...and the cast, well they couldnt hold back their curiosity so i ended up explaining PIS and casting to the whole office staff, all 6 of them. LOL. I did take Dr Mehta's article and an ISOP pamphlet to the doctor so hopefully he will educate himself as much as possible on the condition so he will be able to treat Isaiah as effectively as possible. This sure isnt Texas thats for sure!Any thoughts on the head size? Should i be concerned??Thanks, mom to Isaiah 15 mos old1st cast 50 degrees down to 21 degrees treated at TSRHCChiari I malformation

Bex has ranged in the 5-10 percentile for weight, 50-75th for height, and 90-96 for head size, if that helps! As you know, he didn't have Chiari, but he does have a small Syrinx cyst.

Hello all,We went today for Isaiah's 15 mo well baby check. I had just posted that at his 12 mo check he was approx. average in height and weight. Well not the case anymore!! He was in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. So i guess he does fit into the "typical" body frame for a scoli kid as we had discussed earlier.. I am concerned about his head size. He has always had a big head usually 97%tile on the charts but today he is over 100%...totally off the charts! His neurosurgeon who did his Chiari surgery had said it was large and had some extra fluid but it wasnt large enough to be considered hydrocephalus and he did not need a shunt. We see him again this month and im afraid of what he might say now...does anyone else have a child with such a big head size, low weight and scoli? Is this typical for scoli kids? His new doctor is a family practice doc in a small town so i think he mostly sees geriatric patients so you can imagine his

suprise at all of Isaiah's medical issues...and the cast, well they couldnt hold back their curiosity so i ended up explaining PIS and casting to the whole office staff, all 6 of them. LOL. I did take Dr Mehta's article and an ISOP pamphlet to the doctor so hopefully he will educate himself as much as possible on the condition so he will be able to treat Isaiah as effectively as possible. This sure isnt Texas thats for sure!Any thoughts on the head size? Should i be concerned??Thanks, mom to Isaiah 15 mos old1st cast 50 degrees down to 21 degrees treated at TSRHCChiari I malformation

Joan,

LOL i bet you do remember that like yesterday! Big heads do run in the family...on my hubbys side! So maybe its just something he will outgrow. I pray thats it!

Bex has ranged in the 5-10 percentile for weight, 50-75th for height, and 90-96 for head size, if that helps! As you know, he didn't have Chiari, but he does have a small Syrinx cyst.

Ian has a big head too and it can be a trait in scoli kids. He was in the 75th percentile the last time he was measured, but that was a long time ago. His head is the same size as his older sister! We call him melon head because it is so big, lol.

He was in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. So i guess he does fit into the "typical" body frame for a scoli kid as we had discussed earlier.. I am concerned about his head size. He has always had a big head usually 97%tile on the charts but today he is over 100%...totally off the charts! His neurosurgeon who did his Chiari surgery had said it was large and had some extra fluid but it wasnt large enough to be considered hydrocephalus and he did not need a shunt. We see him again this month and im afraid of what he might say now...does anyone else have a child with such a big head size, low weight and scoli? Is this typical for scoli kids? His new doctor is a family practice doc in a small town so i think he mostly sees geriatric patients so you can imagine his

suprise at all of Isaiah's medical issues...and the cast, well they couldnt hold back their curiosity so i ended up explaining PIS and casting to the whole office staff, all 6 of them. LOL. I did take Dr Mehta's article and an ISOP pamphlet to the doctor so hopefully he will educate himself as much as possible on the condition so he will be able to treat Isaiah as effectively as possible. This sure isnt Texas thats for sure!Any thoughts on the head size? Should i be concerned??Thanks, mom to Isaiah 15 mos old1st cast 50 degrees down to 21 degrees treated at TSRHCChiari I malformation

BTW Hayle was always off the charts for head size as well. I think it's just some kids have bigger heads than others. It was really hard to deliver her, I remember that like it was yesterday... ouch Joanmom to Hayden 2 1/233 degrees1st cast down from 62 degrees Treated at ish Rite Hospital Dallas, TX

Heidi,

Well he kinda sounds similiar to Isaiah...maybe its nothing to worry about. Just wondered if this was a common factor. Maybe we are just blessed with big headed boys!! LOL maybe the bigger the head the bigger the brain, right!!

,

Bex has ranged in the 5-10 percentile for weight, 50-75th for height, and 90-96 for head size, if that helps! As you know, he didn't have Chiari, but he does have a small Syrinx cyst.

Great job educating the doctor's office!! Heidi, Bexon's Mama, (2 years old, in 4th cast from Salt Lake City Shriners, currently down from 61 degrees to 21)

Hello all,We went today for Isaiah's 15 mo well baby check. I had just posted that at his 12 mo check he was approx. average in height and weight. Well not the case anymore!! He was in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. So i guess he does fit into the "typical" body frame for a scoli kid as we had discussed earlier.. I am concerned about his head size.
