    Summary

    This study analyzed 26 porencephalic cyst cases, finding seizures and developmental delays common. Congenital causes are suggested for frontoparietal cysts, while multifocal porencephaly etiology is discussed.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Developmental Pediatrics
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Porencephalic cysts are rare brain malformations.
    • Understanding their etiology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze clinical presentations and imaging findings in porencephalic cysts.
    • To discuss the etiology of multifocal porencephaly and differentiate congenital from acquired cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 26 porencephalic cyst cases.
    • Review of clinical data, neuroimaging, and etiological factors.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-six cases of porencephalic cysts were analyzed.
    • Multiple cysts occurred in 26.9%, associated with subarachnoid cysts in 11.5%.
    • Common presentations included seizures, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation.

    Conclusions:

    • Unifocal cysts in the frontoparietal region suggest congenital etiology.
    • Multifocal cysts were observed in the basal ganglia.
    • Further discussion on multifocal porencephaly etiology and diagnostic differentiation is provided.
