The more we discover about our Universe, the more we realize just how strange and wonderful it is. When Pluto was discovered 80 years ago, we never could have expected the variety of objects in the Solar System. Categorizing Pluto as a dwarf planet helps us better describe our celestial home.
A more detailed neurosonographic evaluation is done in additional coronal and sagittal planes, visualised ideally with transvaginal ultrasound through the anterior fontanelle. Place the vacuum cup on the occiput of the fetal cranium toward the anterior fontanelle. 1] The anterior fontanelle is the unossified area of the skull situated at the junction of the frontal, coronal, and sagittal sutures.
7 These investigators used the traditional method and measured a mean anterior fontanel size of 2.1 cm (range, 0.6 cmâ3.6 cm) from a group of 201 term Caucasian infants. It is significant to note that even infants with measurements that were very small had no underlying problems.everal studies have measured the size of the anterior fontanel at various times during the first 12 to 24 months of life. These consistently report that the size of the fontanel often increases during the first month of life before it begins to close.
