If you were a pediatrician??!


Question:

If you were a pediatrician??

If you were a pediatrician, what measurements of the skull would you take to distinguish different forms of craniosynostosis from each other??


Answers:

Craniosynostosis consists of premature fusion of 1 or more cranial sutures, often resulting in an abnormal head shape. You can't see these sutures with the naked eye without opening up the skull. Best would be to take x-rays to measure the gaps between the skull bones.
