Left Cerebellar Porencephalic Cysts with Ipsilateral ParietoOccipital Encephalocoele: Antenal and Post Natal Radiology
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Porencephalic cyst is a rare congenital disorder which may cause a wide range of physiological, physical and neurological symptoms. We present a case of three months old female child diagnosed in utero via sonography and perinatally using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a case of Porencephalic cyst associated with encaphalocoele. The mother presented at the Radiology Department of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital for routine obstetrics scan at 40 weeks of gestation had a caesarean section at 40 weeks of gestation and was delivered of a live female neonate with APGAR Score of 8, body weight of 4.4kg and no obvious neurological deficits seen. Postnatal MRI of the baby on the 4th day of life also showed a dilated cystic partial replacement of the left cerebellar hemisphere with herniation of the same through a left parieto-occipital defect communicating with the 4th ventricle and pre-pontine cistern. The existence of porencephaly with associated encaphalocoele is rare and an extensive literature search revealed no previous case report as depicted in this report, hence the need to highlight the role of radiology in the diagnosis.
