Subscribe now >> 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. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication for seizure disorders, and a shunt for hydrocephalus.

They may or may not be single and there may be communication with ventricles and other subarachnoid space. The aetiology is thought to be that there is a localised destruction of brain tissue due to a number of causes but potentially including toxaemia, maternal injuries, infection, hypoxic injury or even intra-uterine intra-cerebral haemorrhage. Its overall incidence is unknown, aetiology must be multi-factorial and some series suggest that there is a risk that a patient with porencephaly has at 2-4 per cent chance of having a child with a neural tube defect. There is no specific treatment other than symptomatic for conditions that may have caused it . There may be seizures but most of the time these present as incidental findings. Inheritance patterns None.

Multiple Congenital Anomaly/Mental Retardation (MCA/MR) Syndromes View the Full Record Syndrome porencephaly-cerebellar hypoplasia-internal malformations syndrome Summary A congenital syndrome of bilateral porencephaly, absence of the septum pellucidum, and cerebellar hypoplasia. Situs inversus and tetralogy of Fallot were observed in one of the original cases and atrial septal defect in the other. Both infants were retarded. Major Features Head and neck: Macrocephaly and mildly dysmorphic facies. Eyes: Hypertelorism, corneal clouding, pale optic nerve, and oval pupils. Mouth and oral structures: Broad alveolar ridges and highly arched palate. Muscles: Hypertonia. Nervous system: Porencephaly, absence of septum pellucidum, cerebellar hypoplasia, hydrocephalus, cerebral cortex abnormalities, hyperactive tendon reflexes, and seizures. Cardiovascular system: Situs inversus, tetralogy of Fallot, and atrial septal defect. Growth and development: Mental retardation. Behavior and performance: Feeding difficulty. Heredity: The syndrome is familial and is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

Treatment may include physical therapy, medication for seizure disorders, and a shunt for hydrocephalus. What is the prognosis? The prognosis for individuals with porencephaly varies according to the location and extent of the lesions. Some patients with this disorder may develop only minor neurological problems and have normal intelligence, while others may be severely disabled. Others may die before the second decade of life.
