ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for measuring anterior fontanelle pressure. A particular embodiment of this device comprises a rigid housing having an opening at its base end adapted for engaging a cranium and an aperture adapted to receive means for sensing pressure. The device may also include a flexible membrane disposed over the opening and adapted for engaging an anterior fontanelle. In this embodiment, the housing and membrane cooperate to define a cavity adapted to receive a fluid.
