Bones in the anterior fontanel and its contiguous sutures are normal and relatively common variants that do not interfere with normal growth of the skull. The bone is usually single. It is occasionally flat and may or may not develop a diploic space. Fusion between the fontanel bone and the surrounding bones of the skull occurs usually before the 5th year of life.
