Unusual Presentation of Porencephalic Cyst in an Adult
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Porencephalic cyst is quite a rare entity in adults with only a few cases reported so far. It is usually congenital and seen in neonates. Here, we report a 28-year-old female who presented with post-ictal confusion following a new onset of focal seizures with secondary generalisation. She was diagnosed to have porencephalic cyst in left posterior parietal lobe on brain imaging. She was started on antiepileptic drugs and is on follow up.
