Hi... I have gone through the syndrome which you have referred in detail. Large head and sutural malformations very common. At the same time there is no way to predict which child will have all the symptoms or which child can in future develop these symptoms.
There is no medical test or specific investigation which can predict the possibility of abnormal head in this particular syndrome.
