Not strictly trauma but....

[Dr Ross Hofmeyr]

Ag, people have been accusing me of having a big head for years and it's
never been a serious problem.  He will probably grow up to be a surgeon ;)

Seriously, though, you need some more info.  If his head is on the 52nd
centile, it's no problem.  If it's on the 120th, it might be.
