Hi, Welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns. Microcephaly is defined as when the size of head circumference is more than 2 standard deviations of the normal. At the age of 7 months, 42 centimetres is absolutely normal and in No way, this can be called as microcephaly. That 2 standard deviation at this age a 45 centimeter, so I can assure you that your child head circumference is absolutely normal. Sometimes, it is seen that the shape of head is different like there is frontal buzzing bulging, trigonocephalyt et. I think that you should not worry about this. I hope this will help you. Take care.  Chat Doctor.
