Patient's question:
Microcephaly is a concern, and I am very worried. The child has been experiencing this symptom repeatedly, and it has already been checked. I hope the doctor can help us.Doctor's answer:
When the head circumference is more than 2 standard deviations below the normal range for children, it is referred to as microcephaly. The shape may be normal, or it may exhibit typical changes such as a small and pointed top, a narrow forehead, a small cranial vault, and a flat occiput. Clinically, it is often accompanied by delayed physical and intellectual development. There is no effective treatment for this condition. If there are no discomfort symptoms, there is no need to worry excessively. Pay close attention to the child's developmental progress.
