1850 C. H. Moore tr. C. von Rokitansky Man. Pathol. Anat. III. xii. 377 The whole brain is then small, but the cerebrum is evidently the most diminished, and its convolutions may not be discernible (microcephalus,—congenital idiocy).

1896 Jrnl. Mental Sci. 42 55 Originally the view held was that microcephalus (and its resulting idiocy) depended upon premature cranial synostosis.

1975 Clin. Genetics 7 111 Siblings, one female and one male, were each born approximately 1 month prematurely and showed microcephalus, shortness, and short limbs.

1995 Kaohsiung Jrnl. Med. Sci. 11 127/2 After admission, thorough obstetric sonographic study showed microcephalus, [etc.].
