A member asked:
Does a large brain add inches to a person's height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If head circumference is above normal, that should not affect height. The head doesnt typically elongate in response to an increase in intracranial volume. If the head is unusually large or if head circumference is increasing at an unusual rate in a baby or toddler, a pediatric neurologist may need to be consulted.
