My 5 yr old has a noticeable indention to the top of his head where the coronal suture runs. When he was 2yrs old he had fallen out of a shopping cart and struck his head. CAT scan appeared normal. This indention has never been noticed since he has always had long hair however now that he s had crew cuts and the hair is growing in, the indention is noticeable. The sides of his skill bulge a bit before the coronal suture. Will this create further problems while his skull grows and should a pediatric neurologist be contacted for consult?
HI...if he is developmentally normal and doesn't seizures and any other neurological abnormality, I don't think this is related to the fall he had sustained 3 years back. Even now without any neurological abnormalities, you don't need a neurology consult. I suggest you consult your pediatrician first and then if needed he will be the better person to suggest further action as he will be physically examining the kid. Regards -
