Understanding Leptocephaly: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Leptocephaly is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a thin, soft, and abnormally large head. It is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the development of the brain and skull. The condition is usually diagnosed at birth or during early childhood, and it can be associated with other symptoms such as intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing problems. There is no cure for leptocephaly, but treatment may include medications to manage seizures and other symptoms, as well as speech and language therapy to help improve communication skills. With appropriate support and care, individuals with leptocephaly can lead fulfilling lives.
