	Alexander's disease : a case report of a biopsy proven case. Tatke M, Sharma A Neurol India
		A case of infantile onset Alexander's disease in a two and a half year old male child is presented, who had progressively increasing macrencephaly since birth.
		A frontal lobe biopsy revealed collections of Rosenthal fibres in the subpial and perivascular areas with diffuse dysmyelination and presence of reactive astrocytes.
		Alexander's disease (or leucodystrophy) is characterised by macrencephaly, frequently associated with hydrocephalus, extensive proliferation of reactive astrocytes and formation of Rosenthal fibres by these cells, which are seen intracellularly and extracellularly, predominantly in the perivascular, subependymal and subpial regions.

	Macrocephaly in NF1
		They found that the NF1 children with macrencephaly had an exceptionally large corpus callosum, which was most prominent in the midcallosal region.
		The overall cerebral hemisphere volume was greater in patients than in controls, and this increase was thought to be primarily due to an increase in the white matter volume, particularly in girls.
		It was suggested that macrencephaly in NF1 is largely a result of increased white matter volume, possibly due to glial cell proliferation.

	CIGNA - Pseudoachondroplastic Dysplasia
		Affected individuals may also have limited extension of the elbows and hips, bowing of the legs, and abnormally increased curvature of the bones of the lower spine (lumbar lordosis).
		In addition, many individuals with achondroplasia have an abnormally enlarged brain (macrencephaly), a prominent forehead (frontal bossing), and a flat (depressed) nasal bridge.
		In some cases, affected individuals may experience inhibition of the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), potentially causing increased pressure on brain tissue.
