Very rarely, the posterior fontanelle may be closed, when the bones have fused too early, usually before the thrid month. This is usually linked with an unusually shaped or small head. The larger fontanelle at the front of the head (the anterior - 'front' - fontanelle) remains obvious until it closes around 18 months.

Failure to close or closing at too slow a rate is seen in some medical conditions, such as low thyroid function. As an isolated finding, a large fontanelle is not usually worrisome at this age; however, it may be an early sign that something is wrong.
