A member asked:
My four months old son has head circumference of 10 percent. should i be worried about microcephaly? dr thinks he is fine..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If his head has been in the 10th percentile in the past and remains in the 10th percentile in the future, then this is probably normal for him. It would be more concerning if his head circumference had been higher in the past and is now falling on the growth chart.
