Big Head 98th centile

Hi all,

my little one has a larger than average head size 94th centile (2 YO now, had mild Ventriculomegaly pre-natal which resolved itself at Birth, we had micro-array genetic testing due to this which came back normal. He has developed really well and interestingly more developed than my 4 year old who didn’t have this ongoing previously.

in himself he’s great but one thing that got me worried was that he has a cafe au lait spot (since he was small) and it got me worrying about NF1.

from what I can tell 1 or 2 birthmarks are not a marker, and me and his mother also have cafe au lait spots and larger than average heads - we have been consultant led but discharged as they had no further concerns.

part of me still worries a lot, especially as a recent friend’s 9 year old recently discovered they had a brain tumour.

i think this in itself might have sparked the anxiety in me.

I can understand why you woukd be worried with what's happened to your DF's DC. That's enough to worry the most laidback of DPs.

If they were born on the 98th centile and are tracking that centile and you've had those tests and befn discharged I would guess that they're ok Wink
