The fontanelle, also known as the ‘skull gate’, is an opening on the top of an infant’s head, composed of bony edges. The normal closure time for most children is between 12 to 18 months.

A baby’s fontanelle, typically measuring 1.5 to 2.0 centimeters at birth, expands as the head grows in the first few months. Generally, it starts to shrink around 6 months after birth and closes completely by about 18 months. The posterior fontanelle, a triangular space between the occipital and parietal bones at the back of the head, usually closes within 6 to 8 weeks after birth.
