A mother brings her 2-month-old daughter in for an examination and says, "My daughter
rolled over against the wall and now I have noticed that she has this spot that is soft on the
top of her head. Is there something terribly wrong?" The nurse's best response would be:
A)
"Perhaps that could be a result of your dietary intake during pregnancy."
B)
"Your baby may have craniosynostosis, a disease of the sutures of the brain."
C)
"That 'soft spot' you are referring to may be an indication of cretinism or congenital
hypothyroidism."
D)
"That 'soft spot' is normal, and actually allows for growth of the brain during the first year of
your baby's life."
D
Membrane-covered "soft spots" allow for growth of the brain during the first year. They
gradually ossify; the triangular-shaped posterior fontanel is closed by 1 to 2 months, and the
diamond-shaped anterior fontanel closes between 9 months and 2 years.
