Can a child with microcephaly walk?

A child with microcephaly can walk if the brain tissue and nerves that control walking are not damaged; however, if the brain tissue and nerves that control walking are damaged, the child cannot walk. Whether or not a child with microcephaly can walk is closely related to the development of the brain tissue and nerves that control walking. If the brain tissue and nerves are undamaged or develop normally with treatment, the child can usually walk; if the brain tissue and nerves that control movement are severely malformed or poorly treated, the child is usually unable to walk. Microcephaly is a relatively rare brain malformation disease, the patient’s brain weight is not more than 1,000g, the top of the head is small and pointed, the lower limbs of the forehead, the occipital region is flat, and there may be intellectual and physical developmental backwardness, locomotor ataxia, and other symptoms, if the early surgery, it is possible to improve the prognosis. Microcephaly will cause serious impact on the patient’s cranio-cerebral development, cognitive-emotional, intelligence, etc. In order to alleviate the condition, the patient needs to cooperate with the professional doctor for treatment as early as possible.
