Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Porencephaly, cavity in the brain resulting from focal tissue destruction due to different causes, mainly ischaemic but also posttraumatic. A more correct definition would be focal atrophy. In children, porencephaly is manifested by focal cavities with smooth walls and minimal surrounding glial relation following destruction of a portion of the germinal matrix before the 26th gestational week. According to some authors, this should be called agenetic porencephaly (which is frequently accompanied by anomalies of the overlying cortex) and distinguished from encephaloplastic porencephaly that develops later in the second trimester, and from encephalomalacia (see multicystic encephalomalacia encephalomalacia ), that results from late gestational, perinatal or postnatal injuries.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Porencephaly, term that is most frequently used to describe a smooth walled, fluid-filled cavity (a porencephalic cyst), which results from an insult to the immature fetal brain in the late second trimester. The limited capacity for astrocytic reaction at this time of development means that necrotic tissue is largely resorbed (liquefaction necrosis). This is in contrast to damage later in development which is associated with a more profound astrocytic proliferation which results in a cavity containing numerous septations and significant surrounding gliosis. These porencephalic cysts are occasionally termed encephaloclastic. On imaging studies, porencephalic cysts appear as smooth walled cavities which contain fluid of CSF characteristics on all sequences or attenuation profiles (

Extractions: Porencephaly What is Porencephaly? Porencephaly is an extremely rare disorder of the central nervous system involving cysts or cavities in a cerebral hemisphere. The cysts or cavities are usually the remnants of destructive lesions, but are sometimes the result of abnormal development. The disorder can occur before or after birth. Most infants show symptoms of the disorder shortly after birth. Diagnosis is usually made before age 1. Signs may include delayed growth and development, spastic paresis (slight or incomplete paralysis), hypotonia (low muscle tone), seizures (often infantile spasms), and macrocephaly (large head) or microcephaly (small head). Individuals with porencephaly may have poor or absent speech development, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, spastic contractures (shrinkage or shortening of a muscle), and mental retardation. Is there any treatment?

Extractions: My daughter was born fifteen weeks prematurly. She weighed 750grm. She was doing very well until four weeks of age when she developed a lung infection. In their wisdom the doctors involved began a very intense vigorous long chest physiotherapy program. Because there was no head support and the therapy was so vigorous my daughter received massive brain injury which has now been called Encephalcolastic Porencephaly. There were thirteen babies affected in this manner. Eight died. My daughter has cererbal palsy, epilesy, apnea, left hemipligia, autistic characteristics, and many other problems.

Extractions: Ksh. Chourjit Singh From the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, India. Correspondence to: Dr. S. Bhagyabati Devi, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, India. Manuscript received: July 27, 2001; Initial review completed: September 18, 2001; Revision accepted: October 22, 2001. Porencephaly is a pseudocyst secondary to an infarct or other destructive cerebral lesion(1). It is a rare condition probably caused by vascular occlusion resulting from an insult during fetal development or an injury occurring later in life. It is often associated with various ophthalmic and neurologic signs including visual field defects, abnormal pupillary responses, optic nerve hypoplasia, decreased vision, nystagmus, strabismus, hemi-in-attention, seizures and mental deficiencies(2). There are two types of porencephaly: ( i ) Type I is generally due to an antepartum intraparenchymal hemorrhage; and (

Amongst the cortical malformations, schizencephaly is more severe, yet restricted disorder(1,2). The lesion may be suspected by the appearance of focal ventricular dilatation on ultrasonogram and by visualization of gray matter lined cleft on CT Scan(3,4). However, the most sensitive modality for demonstration of schizencephaly is MRI(3,5). Of the two types of the schizencephaly described, Type I which consists of fused cleft without hydro-cephalus may not be detected by sonography, but is readily identified by CT/MRI(6,7). We report a case of Type I Schizencephaly for its rarity and to highlight sensitivity of MRI in demonstrating the lesion. Case Report An 11-year-old male child elder of the two siblings, was born at term to non-consan-guineous parents. Antenatal, intranatal and perinatal periods were uneventful. He pre-sented with global delay of motor milestones, frequent falls and weakness of the left half of the body since early infancy. There was no history of seizures. Scholastic performance of the child was within normal limits.
