A conceptual illustration of microcephaly, a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with abnormal growth of the brain due to reduced head size. Microcephaly may be congenital or it may develop a few years after birth. Newborns affected by microcephaly may exhibit neurological defects, seizures, and impaired intellectual development. There's circumstantial evidence pointing to the Zika virus as a cause of a large number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil that is currently being investigated. | |
