Could Small Head Size Cause Health Problems?
We are adopting alittle girl who has IUGR. She is now 19months old (adjusted for 1 month prematurity) She is developing normally but her head is quite small for her age. Her small head size seems to be proportional and is growing at it s own curve but is still well below the normal range for children her age. Is this a cause for concern?

small head otherwise microcephaly has many reason and particularly in IUGR babies; not to worry now as long as she is catching her mile stones and you said it's growing with her centile curve.
