✰Prevalence and diagnostic accuracy of microcephaly in a pediatric cohort in Brazil: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Microcephaly prevalence was 4.1% in this study. Cutoff values determined by the World Health Organization had the highest sensitivity and specificity in relation to the standard IG curve. The main reason for microcephaly was intrauterine growth restriction. All possible causes of microcephaly must be investigated to allow the best development of an affected baby.
