Not a single pathologic entity. An enlarged brain may be due to hypertrophy of [[gray matter]] alone, gray and white matter, presence of additional structures (glial overgrowth, diffuse gliomas, heterotopias, metabolic storage diseases...). Conditions in which macrocephaly may be seen include: ● neurocutaneous syndromes (especially [[neurofibromatosis]]) ● megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (MCAP): an overgrowth syndrome with [[megalencephaly]] (often with hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, polymicrogyria, and seizures) and capillary malformations in the skin (usually on the face). macroencephaly.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:54by 127.0.0.1
