Porencephaly is characterized by a circumscribed intracerebral cavity of variable size that may be bordered by abnormal polymicrogyric gray matter. In extreme cases, this cavity may result in a communication between the pial surface and the ventricle; this is termed schizencephaly.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for porencephaly has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
No clinical trials have been registered for porencephaly.
