Re: bump on delylah's head

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I don't want to scare you, but you really should get that seen by

someone who can take x-rays and be sure that the coronal sutures are

still open. If they are not, your baby could require surgery.

Please check out the website Cappskids.org , or .com (I can't

remember). It is a site about craniosynestosis, which I hope and

pray your baby does not have. BUT, even if your baby does, treatment

is available with terrific outcomes.

If the sutures are still open, you might want to consider banding to

get her head growing in a different pattern. Be prepared to talk you

the surgeon that you will want to see to rule out the cranio about

banding.

Good luck, and write back if you have more questions, concerns, etc.

Also, I'm sure the moderators of this site will have some more info

for you...

Kind regards,

I see you've already gotten several great responses & I'd like to

pretty much 2nd what everyone has said. A CTscan to rule out cranio

sounds like it would be the best thing to have done here. DO you

have any pics of your baby's head? If so, could you email them to

the group plagiocephaly Thanks.

Hi ,

My son also has a ridge from ear to ear over the coronal

sutures, he was evaluated for it by a neurosurgeon and x-rays, and

there was no fusion of the sutures. I now also see lots of young

babies with that ridge on their head, so it doesn't necessarly means

it's craniosynostosis. Though I would get it evaluated for peace of

mind. My ped was like at yours at first and didn't think it needed to

be investigated (now that i see so many babies with it, I understand

him better), but I push for it. I'm happy I did, since now I don't

have to worry about it.

's ridge is still there at 17 months old, but not as apparant as

before. My ped told me that it keep on getting less obvious as he

gets older. You can see my son's ridge on some pictures here:
