What Causes Microcephaly In A New Born?

Hello, my son was born normal and healthy but after a month he was diagnosed with microcephly. His MRI report says " Excess extra-axial CSF spaces and diffuse cerebral volume loss with relatively sparring of the thalami and basal ganglia. No definite evidence of neural migration abnormality". I want to know if hyperbaric oxygen treatment will help him?
