Microcephaly is divided into primary microcephaly, which is present at birth, and secondary microcephaly, which develops postnatally. This presentation focuses on primary microcephaly. [bio116su12.pbworks.com]

TREATMENT OPTIONS There is no treatment for microcephaly that can return a child's head to a normal size or shape. Treatment focuses on ways to decrease the impact of the associated deformities and neurological disabilities. [bio116su12.pbworks.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]
