Question
The newborn’s fontanelle is too narrow and the head circumference is smaller, but the growth rate is normal. Am I worried about microcephaly?
Answer
A narrow fontanelle may simply be a structural characteristic. If the head circumference is within the normal range and growing at a normal rate, there is no need to be overly concerned about microcephaly. It is recommended to continue observing growth and development indicators and consult with a pediatrician.
