description: '**Concept**\r\nThe head circumference is the size of the head as measured around the head.\r\n**Purpose**\r\nThe head circumference can provide insight into the growth of a(n unborn) child. There may also be a smaller (microcephaly) or larger (macrocephaly) head circumference than average, which can indicate certain diseases or syndromes.\r\n**Evidence Base**\r\nThe definitions of the concepts were (partly) based on the guidelines Fetal Growth Retardation of the NVOG and PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome by the VKGN.\r\n**Example Instances**\r\n\r\n**Patient Population**\r\nThe HeadCircumference information model is meant for all patients, including unborn children.\r\n**Traceability to other Standards**\r\nThis health and care information model is in accordance with the information model template Measurement v1.0.'
