Handle Peak baby's head. It feels so soft. I was
so gentle, many parents who did not dare touch. Moreover cantel
also looked pulsed up and down. Why is this section
was spineless.
Sih What Is Actually
Fontanelle?
Fontanelle fontanelle or
medical terms is a small part of the baby's head is soft. Fontanelle
arise because after a few months of birth, the bones of the baby's head has not
connect to each other. Even so,
its position has been formed side by side and tidy. Although
it looks very fragile, fontanel actually quite strong because the membrane is
protected, the layer of tissue that covers the surface. In
fact, even tiny toddler fingers pressed it, the crown of it will not be
injured.
What Purpose Of The
Software Fontanelle?
Apart from facilitating the
birth process, also for your brain to be fully developed. As
is known brain development at its highest during the first year of life. Well,
the space between the existing headroom will simplify the developing brain
tissue.
True
Fontanelle Can Be Made Baby Health Indication?
Keep in mind, there are two
types of the crown, namely the anterior fontanelle and posterior fontanelle. Anterior
fontanel Fontanel is listed at the top of the baby's head. Width reaches approximately 5 cm. It
is easily seen making the crown of this commonly used as a reference condition
of the baby. For
example, babies who have all seen a shortage of fluid from the anterior
fontanelle condition that sank to the bottom. If
this happens, do not need to wait anymore, take the child to the doctor
immediately. In
addition, prominent fontanelle continue to be able to show an increase of
pressure inside the head. Aid and
medical help is needed.
The
posterior fontanelle is located at the back of the head. The
shape resembles a triangle with a diameter of less than 1.25 cm. Unlike
the anterior fontanelle, posterior fontanelle not easily visible to the layman,
and usually closes at the age of 40 days.
What If
Fontanelle Shut Down Too Fast?
Many people believe, the faster
fontanel closes the better. In
fact, it is dangerous. Normally, fontanel
closes at the age of 6-20 months. If
under the age had been shut down, then the interlocking bones will close as
well. Craniosynostosis, so
to speak. Cranio
meaning skull while the syn mean joining, and ostosis which means bone.
Fontanelle too fast closing can
be detected by an abnormal head shape. This
happens because of head growth tends to lead to bone fontanel which closes later.
Peculiarities
of head shape can vary, depending on the crown of which cover the first and the
last. If the
front first then head into Panjul.
How Do I Detect?
Actually, these disorders can
be detected early, precisely when the baby is born. Be
wary if the baby's head looks smaller from the body. For
normal head generally look bigger, because the outer circumference head
circumference equal to the circumference of his chest. Hence
the importance of infant head circumference measurements were conducted during
the month per month. Through
regular monitoring, the disturbance size and head circumference growth process
can be detected, either if the head is too large (eg, due to hydrocephalus) or
too small (due to craniosynostosis). Doctors
also generally will do a diameter crown. Also
the presence or absence of a pulse as a sign that the blood vessels underneath.
If
you suspect a problem, the doctor will conduct further tests over CT Scan.
What Is The Cause?
The causes can be manifold, can
be due to congenital abnormalities or infection during pregnancy. Besides
can also occur because of developmental disorders of the brain or skeletal
abnormalities such as osteopetrosis, namely the emergence of growth and
excessive bone density.
Anyway What Impact?
Naturally infant brain
development will be disrupted. Brain cells
can not develop because there is no space. Disorders
that arise include paralysis of the brain such as cerebral palsy. The
earlier fontanel closes, the more severe impacts. In
addition to whether the closure was followed by the closure of the bones of the
crown of the others as if all the bones fontanel closed its impact will be more
severe. Similarly,
if the crown of it had already closed when the baby is in the womb, then the
impact will be more severe and the handling is more complex.
What Measures For About
It?
Surgery is the best course of
action to address the fontanel which closes too fast. Neurosurgeons
will disconnect the crown of it. Thus, the
development of the brain becomes undisturbed. But,
the operation does not guarantee the bones fontanel not closed. In
some cases, the bones that had surgery will reconnect. In
addition, there are also some cases of craniosynostosis that do not require
surgery that is if the visible fetal brain tissue will not grow again. Surgery or not, not
too much impact. In
case it is actually the crown of closing rapidly because the brain does not
develop properly. If
that happens, then the business can be done is therapy to minimize disruption
of what has occurred.
What If
Fontanelle Shut Down Late?
This can happen in between
because there is strong pressure from the contents of the skull, such as under
conditions where high fluid found in the cavities of the brain known as
hydrocephalus. In
this condition, the head can grow as big as a large watermelon or more, and the
top of his head open. The
cause could be due to congenital hydrocephalus such as hopelessness large tract
cerebrospinal fluid. It
could also be due to abnormal neurological syndrome that made burrows main
channel brain dead end from the beginning. The
only way to overcome the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid is through
surgery, namely by installing a duct of which one end is inserted into the
ventricles dilated, while the other end can be placed on other body parts, for
example into the space contained within the heart, or into stomach space. The
sewer system should be used by patients for life.
What
Is The Head For Use In Infant Bando Could Endanger Fontanelle?
Make baby more beautiful is the
desire of every parent. Decorations
baby were hunted and bought, including headbands which is the identity of the
baby girl. It
is not wrong, provided that such use is safe, ie on top of the head, but in his
forehead.
