Clinical Findings- Clinical examination revealed a normal body temperature, a heart rate, a respiratory rate, and inability to stand without any congenital defects Three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) of the skull following radiology and ultrasonography revealed an elliptical defect in the left side of the median parietal line of the skull.
