<bot>: Hi, Regarding your concern, I would explain that this is a complication related to the fetal development. Genetic mutations can lead to this malformation. Other possible causes to consider are the deficiency of folic acid in the first trimester, Chat Doctor.  Unfortunately as the brain is small and not well-developed retardation and seizures occur commonly. You should consult with a pediatrician on these issues. Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Kind regards,
