Overview
Macrocephaly (from the Greek words μακρύς, meaning "long", and κεφάλη, meaning "head"), is when thehead circumference is larger than average for the age and sex of the infant or child.
Causes
Common Causes
- Hydrocephalus
- Intraventricular hemorrhage
- Acromegaly
- Rickets
- Autism
- Hurler's syndrome
- Arnold-Chiari syndrome
- Arteriovenous malformation
Causes in Alphabeical Order
Diagnosis
Macrocephaly is customarily diagnosed if head circumference is greater than 2 standard deviations (SD) above the mean. Relative macrocephaly occurs if the measure is less than 2 SD above the mean but is disproportionately above that when ethnicity and stature are considered. In research, cranial height or brain imaging are also used to determine intracranial volume more accurately.[1]
