    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatrics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Neonatal neurological disorders present diagnostic challenges.
    • Diffuse myoclonus in newborns requires prompt investigation.

    Observation:

    • A male infant presented with diffuse myoclonus shortly after birth.
    • Surgical exploration identified a right frontal cyst connected to the lateral ventricle.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination of the cyst wall showed malakoplakia.
    • Characteristic findings included granulomatous inflammation, von Hansemann histiocytes, and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights malakoplakia as a rare cause of neonatal neurological symptoms.
  • Early diagnosis and understanding of malakoplakia are crucial for potential therapeutic strategies.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of infantile cerebral malakoplakia is warranted.
