Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grandson has an enlarged head in proportion to his body. He is nearly 3 years old. Does this mean there is anything serious with him? He has been diagnosed with XYY but I am of the understanding that there is no link to having an enlarged head. He was born at 26 weeks so was premature. Can you please hel p.
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Boys with XYY syndrome grow slightly faster than average in childhood, and their average height is 188cm (6 feet 3 inches). Hormones are normal and no special treatment is needed. If Head enlargement is in proportion to his body for that age, no need to investigate. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions. I will be happy to answer your questions.
