Patient's question:
The baby has been vomiting milk severely since birth. At four and a half months, it was suddenly discovered that the anterior fontanelle was slightly convex, not very large, but it could be felt to be slightly protruding, without visible pulsation. The baby had its hair shaved at birth, but no hair has grown back. It can chase objects, can be made to laugh, and laughs out loud. It can roll over, but vomiting milk remains very severe.Doctor's answer:
Commonly, it is increased intracranial pressure. If the baby has hypoxia, asphyxia, or similar conditions, it may lead to cerebral edema, resulting in a bulging fontanelle. Additionally, hydrocephalus can also cause this. This needs to be confirmed through a cranial CT scan.
