There are a variety of symptoms that can occur in children. Infants with microcephaly are born with either a normal or reduced head size. [10] Subsequently, the head fails to grow, while the face continues to develop at a normal rate, producing a child with a small head and a receding forehead, and a loose, often wrinkled scalp. [11]
Infants with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome have a normal head size at birth, but the growth of the brain and skull is slow, in severe cases resulting in an abnormally small head size (microcephaly). [4] Typically, seizures start between one and four months in 90% of cases with abnormal eye movements and apneic episodes preceding the onset of ...
The combination of lissencephaly with severe congenital microcephaly is designated as microlissencephaly only when the cortex is abnormally thick. If such combination exists with a normal cortical thickness (2.5 to 3 mm [4]), it is known as "microcephaly with simplified gyral pattern" (MSGP). [5]

Microcephaly is a characteristic in which the circumference of the head is smaller than normal due to improper development of the brain. It is caused by genetic disorders, infections, radiation, medications or alcohol use during pregnancy. Defects in the growth of the cerebral cortex lead to many of the features associated with microcephaly. [4]
