A. what are the normal range of head circumference

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year ago

A. meet dr to rule out any pathology there is range for head circumference at a particular age. you have to meet the doctor to see if it is within normal limits or not. if you feel that it is more or less it is advisable to consult the doctor because only head circumference is not a criteria for any pathology.
