Microcephaly (left) vs. normocephaly (right) Neural scans of a normal-sized skull (left) and a case of microcephaly (right) There are a variety of symptoms that can occur in children. Infants with microcephaly are born with either a normal or reduced head size. [ 10 ]
MICPCH is diagnosed following an MRI displaying pontocerebellar hypoplasia and positive genetic testing for a pathogenic or likely-pathogenic mutation of the CASK gene. Initial testing tends to occur following a diagnosis of microcephaly in the first year of life. A diagnostic ICD-10 code has been assigned to MICPCH: Q04.3.
Achalasia microcephaly; Chest x-ray of an individual with achalasia. The arrows point to the areas of extreme esophageal dilation. Symptoms: Manifestation of achalasia: regurgitation, vomiting and dysphagia, alongside diagnosis of microcephaly: abnormally small head size below the third percentile as well as mild to moderate mental retardation.
Clinically, patients present with microcephaly and significant developmental delay. While some patients may be able to walk, others may not due to spasticity of limbs and hypotonic muscle tone, with progressive degeneration over time. Patients may also present with seizures, ranging from single febrile seizure to intractable epilepsy.
Microlissencephaly can be diagnosed by prenatal MRI. [30] MRI is better than ultrasound when it comes to detecting microlissencephaly or MSGP prenatally. [34] The ideal time for proper prenatal diagnosis is between the 34th and 35th gestational week which is the time when the secondary gyration normally terminates. In microlissencephaly cases ...
Jaxon Strong was born with microhydranencephaly a form of microcephaly -- a birth defect that affects the brain and that has recently made headlines due to links to the Zika virus.
Dubowitz syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by microcephaly, stunted growth, and a receding chin.Symptoms vary among patients, but other characteristics include a soft, high-pitched voice, partial webbing of the fingers and toes, palate deformations, genital abnormalities, language difficulties, and an aversion to crowds.

Microcephaly albinism digital anomalies syndrome is a very rare congenital genetic disease. The syndrome includes microcephaly , micrognathia , oculocutaneous albinism , hypoplasia of the distal phalanx of fingers , and agenesia of the distal end of the right big toe .
