Head shape appears to be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
I have seen the pictures uploaded by you. Head shape does not appear to be Trigonocephalic. Let me tell you that Trigonocephaly is determined by radiological scan and not clinically. Radiological diagnosis is established by the prematurely fused metopic suture.
As a clinical neurologist I find the triangular forehead shape as seen in Trigonocephaly is not seen in your kid's domain. Further X-Ray skull and CT skull may confirm this. I do not recommend these now as your kid is normal as per clinical neurology parameters. I assume so as you did not report any psychomotor deficit nor cosmetic deformity.

Hope I have answered your query for now.If you have some follow-up questions,I shall be glad to answer else,please close the thread-rate it and write a review.Your rating will be of help to me.
