A member asked:
How thick is the parietal bone of a 18 year old male ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It varies depending. It is not something that is normally done. What is measured is the biparietal diameter which is the distance across the skull from ear to ear while the fetus is in utero. This is used to monitor the fetal growth. There are growth curves available on the internet .
