Microcephaly & Macrocephaly
1. DISORDERS OF HEAD &
TEETH GROWTH
Dr Kaushik Barot
Assistant Professor, Pediatrics
2. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
⢠Head circumference(occipitofrontal circumference â
OFC)
⢠To record the greatest volume of cranium.
3. MEASUREMENT OF OFC
⢠Measured by CROSS TAPE method (over
lapping tape over temporal bone).
⢠A non-stretchable tapes is placed over the
nasion anteriorly and most prominent
portion of occiput posteriorly
⢠Measure across most prominent points of
superior orbital ridge (anterior) and
external occipital protuberance (posterior)
Should not be
measured
within 24 hrs. after
birth to avoid spurious
values due to molding
5. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE (HC)
Age Rate of increment
Birth-3m 2cm/m
4m-6m 1cm/m
7m-12m 0.5cm/m
1-3 years 1cm/6month
3-5 years 1 cm/year
Birth 33-35 cm 1 year 45-47 cm By 10-12 y-52 cm
DINES FORMULA up to 1 year
Head circumference= (length)/2 +9.5 )+/-2.5 5
6. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
⢠Head circumference can be plotted on
growth charts
⢠Serial measurements are more
meaningful
⢠Head circumference of parents and
siblings should be recorded

10. MICROCEPHALY
⢠HC < -3 SD for the
given age and gender.
OR

the median.
⢠Incidence 2-3/30000 live births
⢠Primary vs Secondary causes.
11. CAUSES OF
PRIMARY
MICROCEPHALY
⢠Head which never grew normally.
⢠Reduced neurons during neuronal
development and migration.
1) Familial
2) Genetic diseases
3) Structural diseases of the brain
4) Craniosynostosis
17. 3) STRUCTURAL DISEASE OF THE BRAIN
⢠Neural tube defects like anencephaly, hydrancephaly ,
holoprosencephaly.
⢠Neuronal migration disorders like
lissencephaly,schizencephaly,polymicrogyria,pachygyria.
⢠Others like corpus callosum agenesis.
20. CAUSES OF
PRIMARY
MICROCEPHALY
⢠Head which never grew normally.
⢠Reduced neurons during neuronal
development and migration.
1) Familial
2) Genetic diseases
3) Structural diseases of the brain
4) Craniosynostosis
21. SECONDARY CAUSES OF MICROCEPHALY
⪠A head which grew normally at the time of formation but
stopped growing after initial normal structural formation.
⪠Results from insult that affect inâutero or an infant during
periods of rapid brain growth especially during 1st year of
life.
27. WHAT ARE EPICANTHAL FOLDS ?
A skin fold of the upper eyelid
that covers the inner canthus of
the eye
28. SECONDARY CAUSES OF MICROCEPHALY
3) Post natal systemic disease
⢠Chronic illness
⢠Severe malnutrition
⢠Encephalopathy associated with HIV
⢠Severe seizure disorders
⢠Endocrine causes like
â Hypothyroidism
â Hypoparathyroidism,
â Adrenal insufficiency
⢠Inborn error of metabolism like
â Phenylketonuria(PKU)
â Methylmalonic aciduria
â Citrullinemia
â Neuronal ceroid lipofuscionosis
4) Acquired microcephaly (syndromic)
⢠Rett Syndrome

and flattened occiput
⢠AF usually closed
⢠Dysmorphology
⢠May have vision and hearing
deficit.
⢠Seizures
⢠Mental Retardation +-
Investigations
⢠Neuroimaging to identify
etiology
⢠Serum TSH

⢠Metabolic workup
30. TREATMENT
⢠Treat the cause
⢠Canât make head big !!
⢠Treat Craniosynostosis
⢠Neurodevelopmental therapy
⢠Treat associated seizures
⢠Vision, hearing problems should
be addressed.
31. FOR PRACTICALS !
PRIMARY
1) Familial (autosomal
recessive,AD,X linked..)
2) Genetic diseases
3) Structural diseases of the
brain
4) Craniosynostosis
⪠Familial
⪠Genetic disorders
⪠Structural disorders of the brain
⪠Craniosynostosis
38. MANAGEMENT
Hydrocephalus
⢠VP shunting
⢠Neurosurgery for obstruction
⢠Acetazolamide
⢠Anticonvulsants
⢠Neurodevelopmental therapy
⢠Treat the etiology
⢠Vitamin D for rickets
⢠Regular blood transfusions for
thalassemia major
⢠Thyroid replacement therapy for
hypothyroidism
39. FOR PRACTICALS !
Macrocephaly , HC>2 SD
⢠Familial
⢠Hydrocephalus
⢠Rickets
⢠Thalassemia major
⢠Achondroplasia

40. BASICS
⢠Fontanelles (total 6):-
Anterior, Posterior---1 each
Sphenoid Fontanel----2 each
Mastoid Fontanel-----2 each
⪠Sutures 17 named sutures
Major:-Coronal/Sagittal/Metopic/Lambdoid
Minor:-Frontonasal, temporo squamosal, and
frontosphenoidal
Third fontanelle b/w AF & PF seen in Downs
Syndrome and congenital Rubella syndrome.
41. BASICS
⢠Only AF & PF are palpable at
birth.
⢠AF- rhomboid 2.5x2.5 cm close by
9-18 months at junction of
coronal and sagittal sutures
⢠PF- triangular, < 1 cm, closed at
birth or by 6-8 weeks at junction
of sagittal and lambdoid sutures.
42. AF-EXAMINATION
⢠Always examine when baby is
not crying in upright position.
⢠Normally at level or slightly
depressed and slightly
pulsatile.
⢠Take measurements.
46. CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS
⢠Premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures.
⢠Normally sutures fuse b/w 2 months (metopic suture) , 68-
72 months (frontonasal and frontozygomatic).
⢠Premature fusion restricts the growth of the skull
perpendicular to the affected suture.
⢠Compensatory skull growth occurs parallel to the affected
suture in order to accommodate the growing brain.
61. SYNDROMES ASSOCIATED WITH CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS
CROUZONS SYNDROME
⢠Autosomal dominant ,mutations
in FGFR2 or FGFR3
⢠Bicoronal synostosis

abnormalities.

hands
