Patient's question:
Hello? I am the parent of a baby. My son is now 18 months old, but his head hasn't closed yet. What could be the reason for this? Is he missing anything????Doctor's answer:
If your baby is healthy, active, and developing mentally on schedule, the fontanelle not closing yet is absolutely not a pathological condition.Recommendation: It is suggested that you have your child tested for calcium. The test is very simple. If there is no calcium deficiency, it is actually beneficial for the brain to develop fully if the fontanelle closes a bit later. There is no problem with this.
