Does the long head shape of a newborn have anything to do with the width of the lateral ventricles?

Patient's question:

Previously, the fetus had been floating around at 0.9 in the lateral ventricle. After birth, an ultrasound for the newborn did not reveal any abnormalities. I have three questions that require a response from the doctor (see attached images of the newborn's cranial ultrasound and child). 1: Is it necessary to do an MRI to rule out the lateral ventricle issue? The child is just born, so if an MRI is needed, should it be done now or wait a month? 2: Before birth, there was a thorough check of the bilateral occipital bones at 95, and the child was born naturally. The child has a very long head, and does the long head shape have anything to do with the width of the lateral ventricle? 3: Can this head shape grow rounder in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Here's the translation of your text into English, with the return characters kept as they are:
"Baby looks good. The small head shape will improve as the baby grows. The ultrasound findings are normal, so we can wait and see. You don't need to do a head MRI right now. I suggest you take good care of the baby and try to get the baby to eat more milk. You can wait and see - if there are no abnormal signs, there's no need for a head MRI. Or if you're worried, you can come back for a follow-up in a month. This head shape will improve as the baby grows."
