Patient's question:
My son has congenital microcephaly.Doctor's answer:
Microcephaly is a congenital malformation disease caused by harmful environmental factors during embryonic development or autosomal recessive inheritance. The cranial bones and brain development of affected children are both impaired, with a maximum head circumference not exceeding 47 centimeters and an underdeveloped brain weighing no more than 1000 grams. The forehead and occipital regions of affected children are flat and narrow, with the top of the head slightly pointed. The scalp is thickened, and the hair is coarse and dense. The body is often stunted, and intellectual development is arrested at a state of idiocy.
