What Causes Headaches While Suffering Form Microcephaly?
my 6 year old is microcephalic (hc47cm) , and attending a mainstream school , although she has some developmental delay (Memory) . now she is getting headaches and i have asked for a mri scan the drs are not keen. my question is what would an mri show and would this be helpful. is she likely to develop epilepsy if her brain continues to develop .
Based on the history you have shared, MRi may be asked for monitoring of brain development and structural deformities. She may need continous follow up with a paediatric neurologist and EEG may also be needed for brain activity monitoring.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
