The term “normocephalic and atraumatic” is a medical phrase often used in physical examinations to describe the condition of a patient’s head.
- Normocephalic: This means the head is of normal size and shape, with no abnormalities such as deformities, swellings, or irregularities.
- Atraumatic: This indicates that there are no signs of trauma to the head, such as bruises, cuts, or injuries.
When a healthcare provider documents “normocephalic and atraumatic,” it typically means the patient’s head appears healthy and free of any abnormalities or damage upon examination.
