THEssential landmarks of the fetal skull 🧠👶
Understanding fetal skull landmarks is core obstetrics knowledge.
Structures like the anterior fontanelle (bregma), posterior fontanelle (lambda), sagittal, coronal, and lambdoid sutures help clinicians assess fetal position, presentation, and attitude during labor.
The vertex is the most common presenting part in normal labor, while the occiput is a key reference point for fetal positions such as LOA, ROA, OP, etc. These landmarks guide clinical decisions, vaginal examinations, and safe delivery planning—making them high-yield for exams and labor room practice.
