What is the reason for a large head in a pregnant infant?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's head is slightly larger, but there's no need to worry—it's not hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus should be described on the ultrasound report. It's related to the head shape; a round head measurement tends to be larger than an oval head measurement. Additionally, measurement errors and non-standard cross-sections can both lead to measurements being either larger or smaller. So, you don't need to be too concerned. A follow-up ultrasound is scheduled for 3 weeks later.
