I have a small head size but I'm not microcephalic, and I'm concern...

by Jgonz, Apr 05, 2008 07:22PM

Hi, I'm 18 years old from Israel.
I have a problem that had been concerning me for the last 5 years...
I'm not Microcephalic but I have relatively very small head size comparing to the average head size of the population...

My question is: does head size can be affected from different disease that aren't Microcephaly? could it be affected from genetics? or from head injury? and could a small head size than usual increases the probability to get strokes, brain diseases, or other severe diseases?

I hope someone could help me to get those answers...
Thank you !

Hi can you show a picture of you of your front back and the sides of your head. What is your circumference of your head? ( In CM)
I have no clue about diseases but I have an 51 cm head!
