Question
A 11 month old male was brought with bulging anterior fontanelle which was noted since birth. Sometimes it appears alarmingly raised and at certain times it is slightly raised. Baby is otherwise clinically normal. neurosonogram was normal. No history of drug intake. No history of fever, no history of vomiting. Normal developmental milestones. What could be the possible diagnosis and how do we manage?
Answer
Is the fontanelle bulging in erect position? If yes, rule out pseudotumor cerebri. If it is bulging only in lying down position, then one need not worry about the same.
