Can microcephaly be treated surgically? Microcephaly
Hello!

Generally, microcephaly can be divided into two situations. First, the brain is poorly developed, which makes the skull unable to grow normally, leading to microcephaly. Usually there is no special treatment for this deformity, and children will have obvious mental and motor development backwardness in the future; Second, abnormal skull development prevents the skull from growing normally, that is, abnormal skull development restricts the development of the brain, which is often called cranial cavity stenosis. Once found, we should operate as soon as possible to relieve the restriction on brain development.

In my opinion, the diagnosis of cranial cavity stenosis has the following aspects: first, head type; Second, when touched by hand, the part that was originally a bone seam showed proliferative bone fusion; Third, CT or X-ray examination can find premature closure of cranial suture; Fourthly, CT and MRI can show the manifestations of brain development restriction; Fifth, after a long time, children will fall behind mentally and physically. If you like, you can upload an MRI or CT scan to have a look. Patients diagnosed with cranial cavity stenosis should be operated as soon as possible.

Good wishes, please contact again at any time!

(Dr. Zhang Yang from Peking University Hospital solemnly reminds me that because I can't meet the patient face to face, I can't fully understand the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. Please go to the hospital for specific diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor! )
