hello, thanks for your query,
might be your doctor searching for cranial abnormalities.
as such metopic( frontal suture) starts closes 3 to 9 months.
metopic suture not seen means, I assume closed. it's not only factor to decide cranial abnormality. discuss with your doctor.
hope I have answered your query. all the best. take care.
