So mothers may think that their baby's head is bigger and there is no big problem. So what's going on with the baby's head being too big?
As the name suggests, a baby's head circumference is larger than the normal head circumference. According to clinical manifestations, a baby with a larger head circumference is generally caused by a disease, mainly hydrocephalus. If mothers find that their baby's head circumference is abnormal, they must go for a brain examination in a timely manner. In addition, there are several situations where a baby's head circumference is too large:
1. Intracranial space occupying lesions: If the baby has a tumor or hemangioma in the brain, this situation may also occur. It manifests as nausea, vomiting, sharp crying, restlessness, and so on.
2. Macrocephaly: The main symptom is that the baby's head circumference continues to increase, but the body develops slowly. This disease is mainly caused by the problem of excessive proliferation of nerve cells.
3. Simple head enlargement: Such babies may have problems with cartilage development, but their intelligence is normal. In addition, during the process of growth, babies may also have some special facial features, mainly characterized by protruding features.
