if there is no neurological abnormalities, I think that there is a high probability of familial microcephaly.

Depends a lot on the z-score ( i.e. what's the SD ). put her on charts and see if she follows a specific percentile.
Preform a good physical and neurologic examination and ask yourself the following questions:
Had she ever had some sort of brain imaging ?
Is she developing well and acheiving her milestones ?
What's her other proportions ? height and weight
If not all is well I would refer her to pediatric neurologist. otherwise you might want to followup every few months - development and anthropometric measeures
