    Microcephaly: Is A Reduction in The Circumference of The Head

    Uploaded by

    Nestor Ramos
    Microcephaly is a condition where the circumference of the head is reduced. It is divided into primary microcephaly, which occurs before birth, and secondary microcephaly, which occurs after birth. The main cause of microcephaly is when the brain is unable to grow at a normal rate during development in the womb or infancy, which then limits the growth of the skull. The document goes on to discuss the story of José Wesley, a baby from Brazil who symbolizes microcephaly and was affected by the Zika virus, as he still awaits treatment.
