Patient's question:
The child has been diagnosed with microcephaly, difficulties in learning knowledge, low logical thinking ability, a slender body, and astigmatism with hyperopia after vision tests. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Baby has microcephaly, which is caused by a chromosomal abnormality during pregnancy, or exposure to radiation or intrauterine infection in the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. It shows small or absent cerebral convolutions, significant delay in brain development, and often stops progressing by the 3rd to 5th month of fetal development. The patient's head is small and pointed, with a flattened forehead, and the head circumference is smaller than the chest circumference. The forehead and occiput of the affected child are flat, and the fontanelles and sutures close prematurely. There are significant abnormalities in physical development and significant delays in intellectual development. Some children may even experience seizures, stiffness in the limbs, athetosis, or paralysis. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for treatment.
