Re: Posterior plagiocephaly/Early skull fusion

Hi there,

I'm glad to hear that the Xray results came back normal. My nephew

at his 4 month visit was sent to a neurosurgeon because his ped. was

concerned that his sutures were closing prematurely. Upon seeing

the neurosurgeon, the neurosurgeon said that because of my nephews

prominent suture lines and a little bit small soft spot he could see

why the ped. referred him to the neurosurgeon. Needless to say he

was fine. Will the doctor do a follow-up visit to measure head

growth? At one point, the ped. remeasured my son's head because it

seemed like it jumped. The doctor didn't want to wait the full

length of time before visits so he had us come back 6 weeks later to

remeasure. At that time it showed that our son's head was fine and

that one of the previous measurements may have been wrong. Maybe

that is the case with your son??? As for waiting to see if your

son's mis-shappen head will correct itself...I wouldn't do that if

you aren't happy with the shape now. Good luck in your decision.
