It seems that the doctors simply look, feel, listen, in fact, doctors in the physical examination process are very brain, to determine in a very short period of time the baby has no problem and the possible causes, how to diagnose and treat and so on.

A head circumference that is too large should be considered for hydrocephalus, and if hydrocephalus is present, surgery may be needed. If the head circumference is too small, look for premature closure of the skull.
