A member asked:
Could my child have craniosynostosis if her head shape is normal but in the 10th percentile for circumference and a tiny soft spot?

No: If the AF is open, you do not have craniosynostosis, if the head is round

Craniosynostosis: If the head shape is normal then it is unlikely craniosynostosis - if the development is normal then the small soft spot is likely not an issue.
