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?

Other characters 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. The distinction between porencephaly and encephalomalacia is possible because the mature brain reacts differently from the immature brain: in immature brain there is almost no glial reaction and for this reason the destruction of brain results in a smooth, porencephalic cyst. In the mature brain the resulting cavity contains septations and the wall is composed primarily by reactive astrocytes.

Amershamhealth.com Search for: Type a word or a phrase. All forms of the word are searchable. Browse entry words starting with: A B C D ... Other characters 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 ( Fig.1 ). The cavities have no internal structure and the surrounding brain is often of normal signal intensity and attenuation. It may be difficult to distinguish ex vacuo dilatation of the ventricles from porencephaly. These cysts frequently communicate with the ventricular system. For a general description, see porencephaly NW The Encyclopaedia of Medical Imaging Volume VII Porencephaly, Fig. 1

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. Porencephaly most likely has a number of different, often unknown causes, including absence of brain development and destruction of brain tissue. The presence of porencephalic cysts can sometimes be detected by transillumination of the skull in infancy. The diagnosis may be confirmed by CT, MRI, or ultrasonography. More severely affected infants show symptoms of the disorder shortly after birth, and the diagnosis is usually made before age 1. Signs may include delayed growth and development, spastic paresis (slight or incomplete paralysis), hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), seizures (often infantile spasms), and macrocephaly or microcephaly.

Other symptoms may include visual impairment, lack of growth, deafness, blindness, spastic quadriparesis (paralysis), and intellectual deficits. Hydranencephaly is an extreme form of porencephaly (a rare disorder, discussed later in this fact sheet, characterized by a cyst or cavity in the cerebral hemispheres) and may be caused by vascular insult or injuries, infections, or traumatic disorders after the 12th week of pregnancy. There is no standard treatment for hydranencephaly. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Hydrocephalus may be treated with a shunt. The outlook for children with hydranencephaly is poor. Death generally occurs before age 1.
