Hi my 5 month old son has what looks like a blue vein that runs from the middle of his head down to his forehead and one that runs right over the top of his head going from ear to ear. When you run your finger over them there is what feels like a small gap where they are, is this normal? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi.these are called sutures of the skull technically and are quite normal finding in this age group. Do not worry. They gradually fuse as the baby grows. Usually they will be checked, and the head circumference measured at every pediatric well baby visit. This is quite normal. Regards -
