A 5-Year-Old Child’s Fontanelle Heightening

Question

Why is the fontanelle at the back of a 5-year-old child’s head elevated, originally flat now appearing pointed?

Answer

If a 5-year-old child’s head growth and development are normal, the simple elevation of the fontanelle at the back of the head is normal and there is no need to be overly concerned.
