Microcephaly in newborns is considered one of the extremely dangerous neurological diseases in young children that mothers should pay attention to. Not all parents equip themselves with enough knowledge to prevent the disease for their children.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), microcephaly in newborns is a condition in which a baby's head is significantly smaller than that of children of the same age and sex. Head size is one of the important indicators to monitor a child's development.

Although it is a rare condition, once microcephaly occurs, it will affect the child's future development. Microcephaly can be detected by ultrasound in the last months of pregnancy, pregnant women should have regular ultrasounds to have timely treatment.
