“…Congenital microcephaly is characterized by a smaller‐than‐normal head circumference, with the most affected part of the brain being the forebrain (Bianchi & Crombleholme, ). Diagnosis at birth is determined by comparing an infant's head circumference (HC)—or occipitofrontal circumference—with that of infants of the same sex and gestational age (Bray, Shields, Wolcott, & Madsen, ; Cooke, Lucas, Yudkin, & Pryse‐Davies, ; Cragan, Isenburg, & Parker, ; McInerny et al, ). Those falling below a certain measurement, generally less than the 3 rd centile or >2 standard deviations below the reference population mean, are characterized as having severe microcephaly (Opitz & Holt, ; Woods, ), although opinions about the lower limit of HC vary (Bianchi & Crombleholme, ).…”
