Question

the presence of anterior fontanelle in the median plane of the skull is a feature is a feature of an infant/ adult skull​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Increased Intracranial Pressure in Infancy

Measurement of head circumference and palpation of the anterior fontanelle are readily available methods of assessing intracranial volume and pressure rapidly. The measure of head circumference is the greatest anteroposterior circumference. Normal standards are different for premature and full-term newborns. Normal head growth in a term newborn is 2 cm/month for the first 3 months, 1 cm/month for the second 3 months, and 0.5 cm/month for the next 6 months. Excessive head growth is a major feature of increased intracranial pressure throughout the first year up to 3 years of age.
