exp:
Options 'a’
- Head circumference is measured from the occipital protuberance to the supraorbital ridge on the forehead.
Option 'b’
- If the head circumference growth exceeds 1 cm in 2 weeks during the first 3 months, hydrocephalus should be suspected.
- In microcephally head circumference is two standard deviation below the mean for age and sex.
Option `c, d, e’
- Head circumference measurements that progressively drop to lower percentiles with increasing age are indicative of a process or condition that has impaired the brain’s capacity to grow.
- So, serial measurement helps to assess neurological development and pediatric intelligence.
