What is the reason for the child's big head?

Recently, some parents have found that their children's heads are bigger than those of other children of the same age, which makes parents feel very worried. I don't know if this situation is a symptom. Regarding this situation, some parents want to know what is the reason for the child's big head? Then let me tell my parents about it.

Because children are smaller, their heads are bigger. If you want to know whether the child's head is really big, you'd better measure the child's specific head circumference. When a child is born, the head circumference is basically 34 cm, reaching 48 cm at the age of 2, and then gradually increasing, reaching about 50 cm at the age of 5. The head circumference can be measured symmetrically around the occipital bone from the upper edge of the eyebrows with a soft ruler.

If the child's head circumference is obviously too large, it may be caused by some disease. Therefore, when parents find that the child's head circumference is unusually large, it is obvious that the head is too big. It is suggested that it is best to take the child to the hospital for a head ct or MRI examination to see if the child has hydrocephalus or sequelae of rickets, so that the doctor can give treatment as soon as possible to avoid having a greater impact on the child.

In addition, if the child's head circumference is too small, parents also need to pay attention. They must take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, so as to know whether it is caused by disease, because the small head circumference may be caused by the child's brain hypoplasia or cerebellar malformation. In addition, if possible, you can give your child an intelligence test to see if the child has mental defects.
