Head is large in soze6
My 22 months old baby boy weight 11.8 kg. He is very active and playful baby but doctor suggested a ncct head for him as he said the head circumference is large than normal . This is attached report of my baby. Please suggest what to do if it is normal or a cause of concern.
His head is big in size from birth but previous paediatrician said it's normal but our new paediatrician suggested an ncct head.

You had asked the same query a few days back as well. It was answered thoroughly.
CT suggests communicating non-obstructive hydrocephalus. If child is active and developmentally normal without vomiting, seizures or excessive sleepiness, it may not be an emergency, but MRI brain and pediatric neurology follow-up are advised.
