Microcephaly

Microcephaly is a medical condition where a person's head is smaller than normal for their age and sex, often due to the brain not developing properly. This can occur at birth or during early development, and it can result from genetic factors, infections during pregnancy, or exposure to harmful substances. People with microcephaly may experience developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, or other health issues, but the degree of impact varies widely. Early diagnosis and supportive care can help manage challenges associated with the condition.
