A member asked:
My child is 5 days old. appears to have ridge along entire coronal suture. can't find soft spot. normal exam in hospital. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ridged sutures or : overlapping of the cranial bones where they meet can occur from compression of the skull during birth. If head circumference was in the the normal range at birth, continues to grow along its curve & ridging subsides as the cranial bones meet each other edge-to-edge, there's no problem. If coronal sutures fuse too early & head shape changes, evaluation for cause & treatment are warranted.
