Sunken fontanelle is a sign of:
A)
Dehydration
B)
Hydrocephalus
C)
Down’s syndrome
D)
Turner’s syndrome
A sunken fontanelle in an infant is a classic sign of dehydration because loss of body fluid reduces tissue turgor, causing the soft spot to appear depressed. Hydrocephalus usually causes a bulging or tense fontanelle due to increased intracranial pressure, not a sunken one. Down’s syndrome and Turner’s syndrome are genetic conditions and a sunken fontanelle is not their characteristic sign.
