Vertical ridge on baby's forehead, does anyone know about this?

My baby has a vertical ridge on her forehead, in the centre.

No one has seemed bothered by it so far (HVs, docs etc) although I haven't specifically mentioned it.

I thought I'd just google it, and found out that it's caused by the bits of the skull fusing too early. There seems to be a condition which has this, together with a triangular head shape and eyes too close together, and that would be cause for concern. However DD's head is definitely not triangular, her eyes look fine.

So, should I be concerned? Can it indicate a problem?

TIA

GP or hv. Baby's heads can look funny.
