Posterior fontanelle
text:
The posterior fontanelle is a gap between bones in the human skull, triangular in form and situated at the junction of the sagittal suture and lambdoidal suture. It generally closes in 6–8 weeks from birth. The cranial point in adults corresponding the fontanelle is called lambda. A delay in closure is associated with congenital hypothyroidism.
