Clinical clue: Children with autism and DYRK1A mutations have unusually small heads. Mutations in the gene DYRK1A underlie a unique form of autism in which individuals have unusually small heads. [spectrumnews.org]
Other characteristics include low birth weight (often under five pounds), slow growth, small stature, and small head size. Other features may include excessive body hair and small hands and feet. [apraxia-kids.org]
"Some of the children in our study started with a very small head size and later their growth accelerated. What we are looking for is disproportionate growth in children compared to the rest of their body. [sciencedaily.com]

The use of different names can be confusing. The problem started when several different groups of physicians and researchers began describing collections of features they observed in their patients. [uihc.org]

Treatment
While infants with benign macrocephaly will not require treatment and typically outgrow the condition by early childhood, treatment may be necessary in other cases. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Underlying conditions will require treatment. Benign extra-axial collection is a condition where there’s fluid in the brain. But this condition doesn’t require treatment because the amount of fluid is minor. [healthline.com]
Identifying genetic causes is critical to tailoring treatments to the child. [spectrumnews.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis For children with benign familial macrocephaly, the prognosis is excellent. These children usually do not have any complications and have normal intelligence. For other children with macrocephaly, the prognosis is dependent upon the cause. [healthofchildren.com]

Prognosis: Familial macrocephaly: normal neurological development. Secondary macrocephaly: depends on underlying condition. Unilateral or bilateral megalencephaly: developmental delay and intractable seizures. [fetalmedicine.org]
An incorrect diagnosis can have serious consequences for the patient in terms of follow-up and prognosis, and for the family with regard to inheritance and recurrence risk. [tidsskriftet.no]
Up to 10 percent of children with macrocephaly and autism may have a PTEN gene mutation that alters their prognosis and plan for preventive care. 2,3 In those with the Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome phenotype, a proximal myopathy, joint hyperextensibility [consultqd.clevelandclinic.org]
Etiology
Etiologic factors may be biological or socioenvironmental; in some cases, there may be combination of the two. The biological factors can be prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal. [mhmedical.com]
