A newborn's skull is very soft, resembling that of a fetus less than a month old.

Patient's question:

The child was born on January 23, 2013 (39+5 weeks), with exceptionally soft skull, resembling an underdeveloped one. A head multi-row CT scan was performed on the third day of birth. The report is as follows:
Head Multi-row CT Scan
Findings: Multiple small patchy low-density foci were observed in the bilateral cerebral white matter, with a CT value of 18-22 HU. The midline structures were centrally aligned, and the ventricles were of normal size. Increased density was noted in the bilateral cerebellar tentorium and posterior longitudinal fissure.
Bone Window: Fracture was observed in the left temporal bone. The right temporo-occipital suture was widened with mild displacement. Swelling of soft tissue was noted in the left parietal region.

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition may be related to calcium deficiency. You can take Icicle Vitamin AD drops and Gailede Compound Calcium Carbonate Granules, which are quite effective. Calcium and Vitamin D must be supplemented simultaneously, as Vitamin D is the carrier for calcium ion absorption in the human body. Without Vitamin D, even if there is a lot of calcium, it will not be absorbed. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the family must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
