What causes a pointed feeling on the skull of a child?
Patient: Hello, When I feel the top of my 2 year olds head it feels as though the skull is pointed running from the back towards the front and down the center of his forhead, I know the bones arent fused yet but it feels almost like a roof peak would, any idea what this could be? Doctor: Hi..by what you say - the description is fitting into a medically described skull shape called  brachycephaly. If the kid's development is normal, you need not worry. But if the developmental delay has been there, then I suggest you get him evaluated by the pediatrician.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
