*3.3.3 Shape, symmetry and suture lines*

The shape and symmetry of the skull will give clues about plagiocephaly and craniocynostosis [9]. During the examination, carefully check if the skull appears asymmetrical or misshaped, feel the fontanelles and the suture lines. A hard raised suture line may indicate premature closure and careful review of the infant's head circumference will help determine if this finding is significant [9].
