This can be present in some children and can get replaced without doing anything till age of 10-15 months.
Good you have done sonography.
We can wait for few more months but after that if it remains same we will have to operate it. Its the only gold standard treatment of choice.

Wait till 10-12months of age

What is the age of the child?
If it is an infant less then 6 months, better to wait, chances are that it may descend eventually.. If more than 1-1/2 year, most likely he will require surgery.
