متن کاملSome observations on the closure of the anterior fontanelle.
Early observers (Elsasser, 1843; Friedleben, 1860; Roger, 1859) have claimed that the dimensions of the anterior fontanelle of the human skull increase from the time of birth until about the age of 9 months, and that it is, as a rule, closed at the age of 18 months. Scammon (1923), reviewing this literature, challenged these observations on the grounds that the material studied involved Europea...
متن کاملInvestigation of photoplethysmographs from the anterior fontanelle of neonates.
Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals have been investigated at a new anatomical site, the anterior fontanelle (ANTF), on the hypothesis that blood supply at this location is preferentially preserved during cases of poor peripheral circulation which might cause the commercial pulse oximeters to fail to estimate accurately arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Two custom built reflectance PPG se...
متن کاملSubgaleal dermoid cyst of the anterior fontanelle: diagnosis with sonography.
We report the plain film and sonographic findings in six children (2 1/2 months to 5 years old) with a subgaleal dermoid cyst at the anterior fontanelle. Plain films of the skull made in all patients showed a soft-tissue mass superficial to the anterior fontanelle with a normal subcutaneous fat layer above it. In three children, the margins of the anterior fontanelle were beveled to match the c...
متن کاملMeasurement of fontanelle pressure (Part I). A new instrument for non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure via the anterior fontanelle.
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the most important parameters for evaluating intracranial conditons. The skulls of newborns and infants, unlike the tightly sutured skull of adults, provide non-invasive access for measurement of ICPs via the anterior fontanelle. A new transducer has been developed which is convenient for non-invasive, continuous measurement of intracranial pressure through...
