Porencephaly

Porencephaly is a type of cephalic disorder. This is an extremely rare disorder of the central nervous system involving a cyst or cavity in a cerebral hemisphere. The cysts or cavities are usually the remnants of destructive lesions, but are sometimes the result of abnormal development. The disorder can occur before or after birth. (From the Wikpedia article Porencephaly.)
