ABSTRACT

Porencephaly is an extremely rare disorder of the central nervous system, involving a cyst or cavity in one cerebral hemisphere. Clinically, it causes motor and behavioural deficits and affects normal psychomotor development. The aim of this research was to report clinical and diagnostic features of an infant with porencephaly. We present a seven-month-old male infant who was seen in the Paediatrics consultation due to a psychomotor developmental delay and right hemiparesis. He was assessed by a multidisciplinary team with the Neurology, Neurosurgery and Imaging specialties. It was concluded to be porencephaly based on the clinical data and the results of the cranial computed axial tomography scan. Porencephaly is a challenge for physicians as little is known about its pathogenesis and appropriate treatment due to the rarity of occurrence and atypical presentation of this condition.
