On Call: Babies' Soft Spots The two places where the sutures come together, at the front and back of the head, are called fontanelles, or soft spots.. The one at the back of the head closes when a baby is 1 to 4 months old, but the front one, and the sutures around it, shouldn't fuse until 9 to 18 months.

The Abnormal Fontanel The diagnosis of an abnormal fontanel requires an understanding of the wide variation of normal. At birth, an infant has six fontanels. The anterior fontanel is the largest and most important for clinical evaluation. The average size of the anterior fontanel is 2.1 cm, and the median time of closure is 13.8 months.

Cranial sutures Without flexible sutures and fontanelles, the child's brain could not grow enough. The child would develop brain damage. Feeling the cranial sutures and fontanelles is one way that doctors and nurses follow the child's growth and development. They are able to assess the pressure inside the brain by feeling the tension of the fontanelles. The fontanelles should feel flat and firm.

Muscle ...4A) are hinged together. They can be closed to protect the animal within or allowed to open. A block of rubbery protein, the inner hinge ligament, lies just inside the hinge. When the adductor muscle contracts, it closes the shell, but, in so doing, it compresses the inner hinge ligament. When it relaxes, the ligament recoils elastically, reopening the shell. This is an unusual...

- Endoscopic cranial vault expansion is a less invasive approach to treating pediatric craniostenosis. The closed pediatric suture is removed through one or two small incisions. Screws are not required to hold the bones in place. This decreases the risk of infection, swelling and allergic reaction.

The Abnormal Fontanel By three months of age, the anterior fontanel is closed in 1 percent of infants; by 12 months, it is closed in 38 percent; and by 24 months, it is closed in 96 percent. Anterior fontanels tend to close earlier in boys than in girls; the initial size of the fontanel is not a predictor of when it will close.19

- The ductus arteriosus is more likely to fail to close after birth in premature infants. The incidence of PDA (see Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)) increases with increasing prematurity; PDA occurs in almost half of infants 1750 g birth weight and in about 80% of those 1000 g.

- The mean an-terior fontanel size which is maximum in the newborn (2.2 to 4.5 cm) decreases as the age advances; at 24 months its size reduces by 0.25 to 0.5 cm (Table II & Fig. 1). Discussion The anterior fontanel of the newborn infant may increase in size after birth, but gener-ally diminishes after 6 months(2).nterior-fontanel was closed as early as 6 months of age in a clinically normal child. By 12 months, it had closed in 40% chil-dren. In 91.3% children it had closed before 24 months of age (Table I).

In the normal infant the anterior fontanel closes at 12 to 18 months of age and the posterior fontanel by the end of the second month (D).hen assessing a client who is at 12-weeks gestation, the nurse recommends that she and her husband consider attending childbirth preparation classes. At 30-weeks gestation is closest to the time parents would be ready for such classes.

Heart Anatomy Left Ventricle. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood as the left atrium contracts. The blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The aortic valve leading into the aorta is closed, allowing the ventricle to fill with blood. Once the ventricles are full, they contract. As the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. The closure of the mitral valve prevents blood from backing into the left atrium and the opening of the aortic valve allows the blood to flow into the aorta and flow throughout the body. Papillary Muscles. The papillary muscles attach to the lower portion of the interior wall of the ventricles. They connect to the chordae tendineae, which attach to the tricuspid ...
