Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Can you tell me why the x ray was ordered? Report says in chest X-ray, there is doubtful engagement of the heart, and in skull X-ray there is doubtful lucency on the back. The lucency mentioned in skull X-ray can be taken as normal at this age, as skull sutures are yet to fuse together.

To comment on heart enlargement, which is doubtful only, we need clinical details like any breathing/feeding difficulty, excessive head sweating while feeding, abnormal heart sound on examination. Your doctor will explain in more detail.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
