The posterior fontanelle (lambdoid fontanelle, occipital fontanelle) is a gap between bones in the human skull (known as fontanelle), triangular in form and situated at the junction of the sagittal suture and lambdoidal suture. It generally closes in 6–8 weeks from birth.

2022年2月8日 · The posterior fontanelle usually closes first — within 2 months of birth. The anterior fontanelle closes between 7 and 18 months. If you feel your baby’s fontanelles are closing too soon or haven’t closed in 18 months, consult your pediatrician.

Posterior fontanelle is triangle-shaped. It lies at the junction between the sagittal suture and lambdoid suture. At birth, the skull features a small posterior fontanelle with an open area covered by a tough membrane, where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone (at the lambda).

2023年7月24日 · Unlike the anterior fontanelle, the posterior fontanelle is triangular and completely closes within about six to eight weeks after birth. This structure arises from the juncture of the parietal lobes and occipital lobe.

2025年1月1日 · There are two fontanelles: the anterior fontanelle, which is the larger soft spot towards the front of the head, and the posterior fontanelle, which is the smaller soft spot towards the back of the head. The posterior fontanelle typically closes between 2 and 12 months of age.

2024年5月17日 · The posterior fontanelle is smaller and is on the back of baby’s head. The average size of the posterior fontanelle is about the size of a pencil eraser (0.5 cm in diameter).

2020年5月17日 · The posterior fontanelle or occipital fontanelle is the triangular soft membranous gap (fontanelle) at the junction of the lambdoid and sagittal sutures. It persists until approximately 2-3 months after birth, after which it is known as the l ambda.

At birth, the skull features a small posterior fontanelle (an open area covered by a tough membrane) where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone (at the lambda). This fontanelle usually closes during the first two to three months of an infant’s life.

2019年2月5日 · When do Fontanelles and cranial sutures close? Generally Fontanelles close in this order: I. Posterior Fontenelle (around 2 – 3 months of age) II. Sphenoidal Fontanelles (around 6 months of age) III. Mastoid Fontanelles (around 6 – 18 months of age) IV. Anterior Fontenelle (around 1 – 3 years of age)
