0 the state of having a head that is smaller than normal, because the brain has not developed normally: --
The aspect of the size and development of the brain is related to autism (macrocephaly) and schizophrenia (microcephaly).
In general, life expectancy for individuals with microcephaly is reduced and the prognosis for normal brain function is poor.
Microcephaly is not suitable for mouse models, which do not replicate the condition.
Widespread infectious disease and problems with vision, hearing, low height and weight, along with microcephaly have been reported.
The head circumference and the growth curve of the head provide important clues into making a differentiation between craniosynostosis, primary microcephaly and hydrocephalus.
Untreated children are normal at birth, but fail to attain early developmental milestones, develop microcephaly, and demonstrate progressive impairment of cerebral function.
It is characterized by mild-to-severe microcephaly, often associated with developmental delay, ocular defects and lymphedema, usually on the dorsum of the feet.
He also has microcephaly, which gives him his characteristic small head relative to his already small body.
