Hi, your baby's head circumference is normal. In my opinion a repeat ultrasound of your sister should be done, i think the report is not correct or other reason could be that the doctor has written vertical and horizontal length. Nevertheless, i think your sister should have a repeat ultrasound. I hope this has helped you. Take care.
