Does the baby's square skull rib eversion affect intelligence? Generally speaking, with the growth and development of children becoming less and less obvious, no special treatment is needed. When you say "one seal", it should be the trace left when the bone is closed. It is normal to have "one seal". It has nothing to do with the square skull. No special treatment is needed, and of course it will not affect intelligence. Children should pay attention to whether the respiratory tract is not smooth when sleeping with their mouth open. If the respiratory tract is blocked for a long time, it will lead to hypoxia in the brain during sleep and affect intellectual development. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the otolaryngology department to check the patency of the respiratory tract, such as whether the tonsils and proliferators are hypertrophy. If you have hypertrophy, you should be treated.
Square skull, also known as ping-pong head, refers to the phenomenon that the forehead of children's skull protrudes outward, while the temporal part protrudes to both sides, and the top of the head is flat and square. Children with this phenomenon are more common in children with rickets. When parents find that the baby has a square skull phenomenon, they are most worried that it will affect the normal growth of the baby. So what harm does the square skull do to the baby? Let's get to know each other.
Baby's square skull is not uncommon, and it is very common in some babies with calcium deficiency, especially some improper complementary foods, which are more likely to cause rickets and form a square skull phenomenon. However, if the baby has symptoms of square skull because of calcium deficiency, it will affect the baby's growth and development, and it will also lead to abnormalities such as convulsions. Bone changes are one of them.
The newborn baby has a soft skull. If you press the baby's occipital bone or parietal bone with your fingers, parents will find that there is invagination, but as long as you release your fingers, the skull will rebound again. When the baby is eight or nine months old, if the baby suffers from rickets, it will lead to excessive accumulation of subperiosteal bone-like tissues on both sides of the frontal bone and parietal bone, thus forming a square skull phenomenon. For babies with square cranium, there are other abnormalities, such as slow teething. Some ribs are invaginated, forming a chicken breast, and some can be manifested as the inward depression of the xiphoid process of the sternum, thus forming a funnel chest. If it is not improved, after the child learns to walk, the lower limbs will bear the weight, which may lead to O-leg or X-leg due to osteomalacia. In addition, the baby with the skull side will still have muscle relaxation, and the abdominal bulge often shows the symptoms of frog abdomen.
The square skull has great influence on the baby's bones. Due to calcium deficiency, it will lead to various problems in bones. Its formation is not caused by real bone deposition, but mainly by a large number of osteoid accumulation. Because the baby's bones lack calcium, it will lead to cartilage dysplasia and calcified deposition, which will lead to osteoid hyperplasia of frontal bone, parietal bone and occipital bone, and finally form deformity.
It is suggested that the parents of the baby with square skull should pay attention to it and treat it in time, mainly by supplementing vitamin D, and at the same time basking in the sun for at least two hours every day. In addition, under the guidance of doctors, they can take calcium gluconate and Yikexin orally, and let the baby drink bone soup and crucian carp soup. Calcium and cod liver oil can be properly supplemented to improve the square skull.
What is the cause of the child's square skull? Infants aged 3-6 months can have skull softening, that is, they press the center of occipital bone or parietal bone with their fingers, which invaginates because of pressing, but when their fingers are relaxed, the skull bounces back, just like pressing table tennis, so it is also called table tennis head. Children over 6 months old can touch the distal ends of the long bones of forearms and calves, and even see the ring-shaped protrusions formed by thick bones, such as bracelets or anklets. Babies over 8 and 9 months old have too many periosteum osteoid tissues on both sides of the frontal bone and parietal bone, which can form a square skull. Some children are slow in teething. Some ribs are invaginated, so that the sternum protrudes outward to form a chicken breast, and the xiphoid process of the sternum is depressed inward, which can form a funnel chest. After the child walks, the lower limbs bear the weight, and due to osteomalacia, O-legs or X-legs may appear. In addition, the child's muscles are slack, and the abdomen is often frog-shaped.
The square skull is caused by calcium deficiency. A normal skull is round and has no edges and corners. The formation of a square skull is not a real bone deposit, but a large amount of osteoid accumulation. The above deformities are caused by bone calcium deficiency, cartilage dysplasia, calcified deposition and osteoproliferation of frontal bone, parietal bone and occipital bone.
Calcium deficiency is the cause of children's square skull. Long-term calcium deficiency will lead to growth retardation, hunchback, chicken breast, O-leg, X-leg and fragile bones. Parents should take their children to the hospital for examination in time to prevent calcium deficiency from delaying their physical and mental health once they find that their children have calcium deficiency symptoms such as square skull, night sweats, bald pillow, easy awakening and mental irritability.
