Seizures may be present (10%). Delay in early motor milestones and speech delay are common. Most patients have hyperactive behavior. Etiology Ten subtypes based on the 11 genes have been differentiated. [orpha.net]

Case report The case of a 2.4-year-old girl with developmental delay and small head circumference is presented. History didn\\\'t reveal any other family member with a similar phenotype (Figure-1). [jpma.org.pk]

Microcephaly is divided into primary microcephaly, which is present at birth, and secondary microcephaly, which develops postnatally 4. [centogene.com]

• Short Stature

  Some people with MCPH have a narrow, sloping forehead; mild seizures ; problems with attention or behavior; or short stature compared to others in their family. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  A common finding in microcephaly is also short stature, typically between -1 SD and -2 SD and in Seckel syndrome it ranges between -4 and -12 SD 3. [centogene.com]

  Discussion MCPH1 mutation is a known cause of primary microcephaly and has been reported to be associated with a short stature. 8 Here, we report the identification of a novel nonsense mutation in a patient with microcephaly without short stature. [jpma.org.pk]

  Mikati et al. (1985) reported microcephaly associated with short stature and mental retardation in 3 brothers and a sister out of 9 children of first-cousin parents. Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and a variety of minor anomalies were also present. [genome.jp]

  Non-neurologic abnormalities consisted of short stature (n 1), idiopathic premature puberty (n 1), and renal dysplasia (n 1). Conclusions: We provide a detailed description of features associated with ASPM mutations. [neurology.org]

Any further studies and workup should be directed by the presence of signs or symptoms pointing to an underlying diagnosis and are usually used as confirmatory testing for certain conditions. [mdpi.com]

Brand-new chapters in the drug and diet section cover perampanel, ezogabine, and lacosamide, while the existing chapters on major medical treatments have been comprehensively updated to reflect the latest trials and studies. [books.google.com]

Management and treatment There is no specific etiologic treatment. Physical and speech therapy may be beneficial. Seizures are usually stabilized with common anticonvulsants. Ritalin may reduce hyperactivity. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Microcephaly is a lifelong condition with no known cure. The prognosis is usually worse for children who experienced an intrauterine infection or have a chromosomal or metabolic abnormality. [mdpi.com]

Prognosis Vital prognosis depends on severity and related manifestations but is generally good. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

[…] head circumference more than three standard deviations below the mean for the age and sex. [6] There is no specific treatment that returns the head size to normal. [1] In general, life expectancy for individuals with microcephaly is reduced and the prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]

Etiology Microcephaly has been stratified and studied differently based on the etiology and the timing of onset. [mdpi.com]

Management and treatment There is no specific etiologic treatment. Physical and speech therapy may be beneficial. Seizures are usually stabilized with common anticonvulsants. Ritalin may reduce hyperactivity. [orpha.net]

Actually in most of the cases, genetic mechanisms including cytogenetic abnormalities, single-gene disorders, and undetermined etiology syndromes are the major causes of the disease. 3 Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a genetically heterogeneous [jpma.org.pk]

A few previous reviews based on the genetics and etiology of microcephaly have been published, 1, 22, 23 and the presence of a simplified gyral pattern in association with microcephaly has been discussed by many authors. 21, 24 However, to our knowledge [ajnr.org]

Summary Epidemiology Exact prevalence of non-syndromic microcephaly is not known. MCPH is more common in Asian and Middle Eastern populations than in Caucasians, in whom an annual incidence of 1/1,000,000 is reported. [orpha.net]

Additionally, increasing resources are being made available for the prevention and research of Zika virus including mosquito prevention and identification, and limiting travel to highly endemic areas. [mdpi.com]

The virus essentially acts like a 'sponge', preventing MSI1 from working correctly and altering the expression of many genes involved in neuronal development. [sciencedaily.com]
