• Macrocephaly is the technical term for a large head.

    Macrocephaly can be normal or caused by genetic disorders or other disorders.
    Diagnosis is made before birth through routine ultrasound tests or after birth by measuring the head circumference.
    Doctors usually do imaging tests to look for brain abnormalities and sometimes blood tests to look for a cause.
    Treatment for macrocephaly depends on the cause, and sometimes, if no problems are found, no treatment is necessary.

    (See also Overview of Brain and Spinal Cord Birth Defects.)
    Infants with macrocephaly have a head circumference that is considerably larger than others of the same age.
    Macrocephaly can be classified as

    Disproportionate: The head is larger than appropriate for the child
