Cranial Fontanelles
Cranial Fossa, Anterior
Cranial Fossa, Posterior
The infratentorial compartment that contains the CEREBELLUM and BRAIN STEM. It is formed by the posterior third of the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid (SPHENOID BONE), by the occipital, the petrous, and mastoid portions of the TEMPORAL BONE, and the posterior inferior angle of the PARIETAL BONE.

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the pattern of findings in sonographic examination of infant brains. SETTING: Radiology Department of a University Teaching Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ultrasound request cards, reports and case notes of 114 consecutive term infants who underwent transfontanelle ultrasonography over a four-year period (between 1st May 2000 and 31st April 2004) were retrospectively analysed. The transfontanelle ultrasonographies were done using a two dimensional Sonoace 1500 (Medison Inc, South Korea 1995) ultrasound scanner fitted with 6.5 megahertz (MHz) curvilinear small head probe. The scans were done in both coronal and sagittal sections applying the standard techniques. RESULT: Atotal of 114 infants were seen in the study period with male to female ratio of 1:1. Sixty eight patients (59.65%) presented within the first 2 months of age. Hydrocephalus 34 (29.04%), seizure disorders 16 (14.04%) and suspected intracranial bleeding 19 (16.67%) constituted over half of the presenting complaints. The result showed that 54 patients (47.37%) had normal findings, 43 (37.72%) had hydrocephalus of which in 25 (21.93%) it was communicating while in 18 (15.79%) it was non-communicating 6 (5.26%) had cephalohaematoma, 5 (4.39%) had encephalcoele, 4 (3.51%) had periventricular leukomalacia, and 2 (1.75%) had subgaleal cyst. CONCLUSION: Transfontanelle ultrasonography is a useful technique for diagnosis of lesions within the infant brain. Hydrocephalus is the most frequent reason for request of transfontanelle ultrasound scan and also the most frequent abnormal finding. (+info)Brain herniation in a neonate. (5/12)
Brain herniation is generally thought to be unlikely to occur in newborns due to the presence of the patent fontanelles and cranial sutures. A review of the literature published from 1993 to 2008 via MEDLINE search revealed no reports on neonatal brain herniation from intracranial tumour. We report a preterm Malay male infant born via elective Caesarean section for antenatally diagnosed intracerebral tumour, which subsequently developed herniation. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed features that were compatible with a large complex intracranial tumour causing mass effect and gross hydrocephalus. Tumour excision was scheduled when the infant was two weeks old. Unfortunately, on the morning of the surgery, he developed signs of brain herniation and had profuse tumour haemorrhage during the attempted excision. Histopathological examination revealed an embryonal tumour, possibly an atypical rhabdoid/teratoid tumour. This case illustrates that intracranial tumours in newborns can herniate and should therefore be closely monitored.

(+info)Anterior fontanelle size in healthy Iranian neonates on the first day of life. (7/12)
There is limited data in the literature on the normal size of the anterior fontanelle. This cross- sectional study was to determine normal values of anterior fontanelle size on the first day of life, using standard methods. Anterior fontanelle size was measured in 400 term and healthy neonates delivered at the Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Examination included assessment of head circumference, anterior fontanelle size, weight, length. Type of delivery was also recorded. The mean size of anterior fontanelle was 25.34 +/- 13.27 mm, and it was established in both genders, 26.70 +/- 13.19 mm in boys, and 23.67 +/- 13.20mm in girls. A significant difference between the mean anterior fontanelle size in boys and girls was found (P=0.023). There was no significant difference in anterior fontanelle size between the infants born with a normal vaginal delivery and those with cesarean-section (P=0.08). There was found a significant negative correlation between the mean size of anterior fontanelle size with both weight and height (P<0.05). No significant correlation was found between mean size of anterior fontanelle and head circumference or with gestational age of infant (P>/=0.05). Our results proved possible to define a references range and centile chart. The method used is simple and accurate and easy used in the routine neonatal examination. (+info)Preterm screening by transfontanelar ultrasound - results of a 5 years cohort study. (8/12)
OBJECTIVES: Intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) might be the cause of significant psycho-motor or cognitive impairment in preterm babies. A 5 year cohort study performed in the IOMC was aimed at determining the prevalence and proportion of the main types of ICH diagnosed by transfontanelar (TF) ultrasound among admitted preterms, along with the neuro-developmental effects on a 12 month follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the above mentioned period all enrolled newborns were examined by TF ultrasound according to a common standardized protocol. The 4 grade Papile ICH classification was used for all examined subjects. In order to determine the potential neurological sequels we performed a 12 month neurological follow-up of all 292 patients in the study group. RESULTS: The prevalence of all types ICH diagnosed by systematic TF ultrasound was 20.4 %. The most prevalent type of ICH was peri-intraventricular: 40% grade I and 33 % grade II, with no major neurological sequels For both the correlation to the neurological outcome was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Severe neurological sequels were associated with grade III and IV, but the correlation was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) only for grade IV hemorrhages. A severe neurological outcome was of statistical significance only for the cerebellar hemorrhage outcome, although a similar pattern was also observed for the thalamic hemorrhages. CONCLUSION: Systematic TF screenings for preterm is useful for early diagnosis and staging which might improve the management of rehabilitation therapies, and provide appropriate information on the disease outcome as well as influencing the quality of parental counseling.

- In an infant, the spaces where sutures intersect but don't completely touch is called the "soft spot", a membrane covered area also called a fontanelle (fontanel or fonticulus). (stlukes-stl.com)
Calvaria1
- Radiography images revealed bulging of the calvaria and persistent fontanelles with open cranial sutures. (ufrgs.br)
Abnormalities2
Fibrous1
- As the skull enlarges, the fontanelles reduce to a narrow layer of fibrous connective tissue that suture the bony plates together. (physio-pedia.com)
Suture3
- Physical examination revealed unusually large fontanelles, with wide suture lines and hypertelorism ( Figure 1A , B ). It was difficult to distinguish between the clavicles on both sides during palpation. (neo-med.org)

Spots4
- Enlarged fontanelles are larger than expected soft spots for the age of a baby. (medlineplus.gov)
- Fontanelles are the "soft spots" on an infant's head where the bony plates that make up the skull have not yet come together. (stlukes-stl.com)
- A baby's soft spots are called fontanelles. (ru-facts.com)
- Fetal skull anatomy is also characterized by the presence of soft membranous areas called fontanelles (soft spots) that eventually become sutures in an adult skull. (myhealthclass.net)
Baby's head3
- If you think that the fontanelles on your baby's head are larger than they should be, talk to your health care provider. (medlineplus.gov)
- I am never just looking at the fontanelle alone, but how the baby's head is growing and how it looks and feels. (wendysueswanson.com)
- Thanks to its anatomic design and to the materials used in its production, Mimos® distributes the weight of the baby's head on a larger area avoiding points of higher pressure, which is the main cause of positional cranial deformities. (cojinmimos.com)
Positional1
- Mimos® is a specially designed device for the prevention and correction of positional cranial deformities in babies. (cojinmimos.com)
Triangular1
- Posterior fontanelle: This smaller opening at the back of the baby's skull is triangular in shape. (ru-facts.com)
Craniosynostosis1
- All the cranial sutures including the metopic, coronal, sagittal and lambdoid sutures are still open with no evidence of craniosynostosis. (radiopaedia.org)
Deformation4
- The practice of intentional cranial deformation is perhaps best known from Mesoamerica. (mentalfloss.com)
- Here is a quick world tour of cranial deformation throughout the ages. (mentalfloss.com)
- Skeletal remains found in those graves bear the telltale marks of intentional cranial deformation-the earliest identified instance of it in the Eurasian steppes. (mentalfloss.com)
- There are other parts of the skull where a hook may have been inserted, causing the cranial deformation seen, such as through a fontanelle, but this is hard to confirm from the images available, so this makes the case for an abortion using a hook less likely. (paoloviscardi.com)
Areas of the skull2
- These soft, open areas of the skull are called fontanelles. (ru-facts.com)
- From a pediatrics viewpoint, fontanelles are areas of the skull that haven't ossified yet and hence are visible as 6 gaps. (myhealthclass.net)
Newborn infant1
- Any of six membrane-covered openings between the CRANIAL SUTURES in the incompletely ossified skull of the fetus or newborn infant. (bvsalud.org)

- When the spaces of the fontanelles are larger than normal underlying causes such as hydrocephalus may be suspected. (stlukes-stl.com)
- In addition, cranial convolutions were less clear, which was compatible with hydrocephalus. (ufrgs.br)
Asymmetry3
- The term plagiocephaly , derived from the Greek plagios (oblique, twisted, or slant) and kephalê (head), means distortion of the head, and refers to cranial asymmetry. (consultant360.com)
- However, until the fontanels close, there is still the possibility of correcting the cranial asymmetry. (cojinmimos.com)
- The extent to which Mimos will be able to correct the deformity will depend on several factors such as the cranial morphology itself, the severity of the asymmetry, the baby's age and growth rate of the skull, which can vary between babies. (cojinmimos.com)
Vault3
- The Natha siddhas and other Tantric schools, forebears of the hatha yoga tradition, believed that amrita, the nectar of immortality, was held within the cranial vault, at the seventh chakra, sahasrara . (thepoweryogaco.com)
- Some people believe that the effect of reversing these glands in the field of gravity could be the dripping amrita of the ancient yogis-that perhaps they sensed the slow release of hormones from the cranial vault and used inversions to stem or stimulate the release, promoting health and impeding the process of aging. (thepoweryogaco.com)
- Lateral views showing collapse of the cranium and extreme reduction in height of the cranial vault. (cdc.gov)
Bone1
- Eventually, cranial sutures ossify- the two adjacent plates fuse to form one bone (termed synostosis). (physio-pedia.com)

Close2
- The fontanelles normally close sometime after birth. (bvsalud.org)
- However, it is until the age of 16-18 months (when the fontanelles usually close) that it will still be possible to correct them, and more importantly, to prevent them of getting worse. (cojinmimos.com)
Wide1
- A wide fontanelle occurs when the fontanelle is larger in size than expected for the age of the baby. (stlukes-stl.com)
