Abstract |
We experienced a congenital porencephalic cyst with hydrocephalus in a 12 days old female premature infant who was suffered from meningitis. Brain CAT confirmed the diagnosis of porencephaly. Therapy consisted of systemic antibiotics and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt with good effect. She has been in good condition without convulsion or other neurologic sequelae thereafter. A brief review of the related literature was made on this subject.
