Editing Macrocephaly (section)

=== Benign or familial macrocephaly ===
Benign macrocephaly can occur without reason or be inherited by one or both parents (in which it is considered benign familial macrocephaly and is considered a [[megalencephaly]] form of macrocephaly). Diagnosis for familial macrocephaly is determined by measuring the head circumference of both parents and comparing it to the child's. Benign and familial macrocephaly is not associated with [[neurological disorder]]s.<ref name=":02">{{Cite book|title=Signs and Symptoms of Genetic Conditions: A Handbook|others=Hudgins, Louanne,, Toriello, Helga V.,, Enns, Gregory M.,, Hoyme, H.

Although neurological disorders do not occur, temporary symptoms of benign and familial macrocephaly include: [[Global developmental delay|developmental delay]], [[epilepsy]], and mild hypotonia.<ref name=":02" />

[[Neurodevelopment]] is assessed for all cases and suspected cases of macrocephaly to determine whether and what treatments may be needed, and whether any other syndrome/s may be present or likely to develop.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}
