Asking for Other, Female, 1.2 years old, KSA
Salam.... meri beti ka forehead starting se protrude horaha tha.... we ignore it in starting but now its too much protruded... even her anterior fontanelle is not closed yet nor she started walking... we consulted the pediatrician here in KSA and he said its due to vitamin D deficiency..... i am giving her VI drops (10drops per day)... i want to ask is it really vitamin d deficiency or something else... i am posting some recent pictures of her.. P.s: dont post it on facebook or anywhere...TIA
Ant fontalle closes at 1.6 months but delayed in Vit D deficiency.She looks otherwise normal. Most probably Vit D deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency or Rickets is only one of the reasons for frontal bossing and delayed anterior fontanel closure. There are other signs of rickets which must be looked for. They are expanded wrists, rachitic rosary or beading of ribs and bow legs, if the child is bearing weight. For the diagnosis of rickets one needs blood test for Vitamin D level, another blood test which is so called Bone Profile and an X-ray of left wrist. If rickets is proven, Vitamin D drops are needed in much higher doses than 10 drops a day. Vitamin D is one of vitamins whose excess may be harmful. It should only be given to a person when its deficiency has been established by testing.
