Head circumference is normal for age. USG cranium shows minor abnormalities which can get corrected with age. So nothing to worry just now. Follow up with pediatric neurologist as advised. Most probably no treatment will be needed

Head circumference needs to be monitor regularly if it's increasing too fast it may cause problems. Also child's development needs to be monitored regularly after 6 weeks of age
