Case 1 - This case is of a 5-year-old girl with a history of normal initial development with seizures and gradual developmental delay with regression of milestones. Exhaustive workup was unable to identify a cause. ---- The brain is markedly reduced in size with an unfixed brain weight of 650 g (normal for age and sex: 1167-1354 g) with proportionate reduction in the size and gross appearance of all anatomical CNS structures. The ventricular system is mildly enlarged. The diagnosis made was microcephaly/microencephaly vera, severe.
