Macrencephaly
A condition present at or soon after birth in which the brain is abnormally large. This can be due to certain diseases that make the brain larger, such as Alexander disease, later phases of Tay-Sachs disease, and spongy degeneration of infancy. The large growth of the brain is usually not due to the formation of tumors, which are abnormal tissues that grow faster than other tissues. Macrencephaly is also known as macrencephalia and macroencephaly. Macrencephaly comes from the Greek word "makros" meaning "large," and the Greek word "enkephalos" meaning "brain." Put the to words together and you get "large brain."
