Hi, My daughter is around 18 months old and her anterior Soft spot is not filled yet and it keeps pulsating. She is perfectly normal and has achieved all milestones on time. Is there any concern? How long does it take to be filled completely? Can anyone please help with this?

It should ideally close by 18 Months but if it remains open even after 2 years, it needs evaluation
Next Steps
Consultation with pediatrician for a few tests to check for the usual causes of delayed closure
