Fontanelle or Fontanel is the soft spot of an infant human skull between the cranial bones. The posterior fontanel closes on the first few months of life.
The posterior fontanel is located at the back of the head where the parietal and occipital bones meet in a newborn baby. It typically closes by the time the baby is 2 months old.
This one closes fairly early, usually by the time the baby is 2 months.
The fontanel between the parietal and occipital bones is the posterior fontanelle, also known as the lambda fontanelle. It is typically smaller and closes earlier than the anterior fontanelle.
If an infant's fontanel (the soft spot on the skull) closes too early, a condition known as craniosynostosis may occur. This can restrict the growth of the skull and potentially lead to increased intracranial pressure, affecting brain development. Early diagnosis and intervention, often surgical, are crucial to prevent complications and ensure proper skull and brain growth. It's important for pediatricians to monitor head shape and development during routine check-ups.
The posterior fontanel would be in the back of the head. The coronal fontanel would be located in another part of the brain.
Anterior (frontal) Fontanel Posterior (occipital) Fontanel Anterolateral (sphenoid) Fontanel Posterolateral (mastoid) Fontanel
Fontanel means "soft spot"; fate.
Its called a fontanel
Ahhh the piercing closes and you need to get it repierced..
A fetal skull has six fontanels: two anterior (sagittal and frontal) and four posterior (two squamous and two mastoid). These membranous gaps eventually close as the skull bones fuse together during infancy.
if bank closes yr account,it gets closed,or dead.
