Abstract:
Porencephaly (POR) is an exceedingly rare neurological disorder characterized by the presence of solitary or multiple regressive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cavities within the brain parenchyma. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment options for this condition, and clinical presentations can vary significantly. However, imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and determining the optimal treatment strategy, necessitating individualized comprehensive treatment upon detection. We reported a 25-year-old male case with persistent head pain that did not resolve with rest. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the giant POR, and we finally performed a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, and the symptoms of intracranial hypertension were relieved after surgery.
