Abstract

Diagnosis of abnormal FONTANEL size, a potential clue to recognition of differentdisorders, requires an understanding of the wide variation of normal FONTANELsize. The anterior FONTANEL is the largest, prominent and most important forclinical evaluation. The aim of this study was to establish and define normalrange of FONTANEL size from birth to 24 months of age in healthy IRANian CHILDRENthat might be generalized to other populations.Materials & MethodsTotally, 550 subjects enrolled randomly in this cross sectional study. They wereapparently normal healthy CHILDREN, from birth to 24 months of age, including208-term newborn and 342 infant from birth to 2 yr old. FONTANEL size wasmeasured and recorded as the mean of the length (anterior- posterior dimension)and width (transverse dimension). Mean anterior FONTANEL sizes in our sampleswere classified for periods of 3 months. Nomograms and statistical analyseswere performed and depicted by Excel Microsoft Office 2007 and two-tailedt-test respectively.ResultsThe mean ±2SD of anterior FONTANEL size was 2.55±1.92 cm in newborns, 3.37±2.48 (largest size) in 3 months of age. It was closed in all cases in 15-18months of age. The mean posterior FONTANEL size was 0.8 cm in newborns andclosed in all INFANTS in 2 months of age. There was no significant difference inanterior FONTANEL size between two genders except in newborn and 6-9 monthsold (P>0.05).ConclusionAbnormal FONTANEL can indicate a serious medical condition. Therefore, it isimportant to understand normal variations, to utilize standardized techniques formeasurement and appropriate standards of normal range in different age groupsand populations. This study provides a normal range of mean FONTANEL size inIranian INFANTS as a local reference. It might be generalized to other populations.
