Head normocephalic

Explanation

Head normocephalic is an examination note saying that the head has the expected overall size and shape for the person’s age. It does not mean that every feature of the head has been checked and found healthy.

Does it mean there are no other findings?

No. The phrase describes overall head form. It does not by itself establish that there are no skin changes, lumps or injuries, or that brain function is normal. Those questions depend on other parts of the examination and, when relevant, further tests.
