Man with "tiny brain" is a civil servant

I couldn't pass this up.

 

In France, a man aged 44, father of 2 children, and working as a civil servant went to a hospital complaining of weakness in his leg.

 

In the course of getting his medical history, doctors learned that he had a childhood condition of hydrocephalus, and had a shunt put into his brain when he was an infant. The shunt was removed when he was 14.

 

Doctors decided to check on the condition of his brain and carried out a CT scan and an MRI.

 

They discovered "massive enlargements" of the brain ventricles (spaces that occur normally in the brain), and that the brain tissue itself was reduced to a thin layer lining the skull. Basically, this dude was working on 25% to 50% of what would be normal brain tissue space.

 

Would this lead to the generalization that civil servants have tiny brains?
