Description

Porencephaly is a neurologic disorder characterized by fluid-filled cysts or cavities in the brain and is thought to result from disturbed vascular supply leading to cerebral degeneration. Affected individuals typically have hemiplegia, seizures, and intellectual disability, although the severity is variable (summary by Yoneda et al., 2012).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of porencephaly, see POREN1 (OMIM ).
