A member asked:
What to do if i have an ultrasound showing the babies head as dolichocephaly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info: If the brain structure is normal, don't do anything. Wait until the child is born. Dolichocephaly is a head shape description, and nothing more. It does not necessarily indicate a medical problem needing treatment.
