Figure 1

The neonate shows phenotypical features previously described during the microcephaly epidemic, including craniofacial disproportion, prominent externa occipital protuberance and excessive scalp skin (photo, left). Radiological features found on brain imaging (CT image, right) include reduced volume of cortical brain parenchyma, cortical and subcortical calcifications, simplified gyral pattern and ventriculomegaly.
