Bilateral congenital subdural cysts associated with porencephaly and CSF-subdural fistula. A report of two cases.
Tow infants had bilateral congenital subdural cysts associated with encephaloclastic porencephaly and a CSF-subdural fistula. The cysts occupied 80% to 90% of the crainal cavity. There was severe atrophy and malformation of the underlying brain, suggesting that its development had been disturbed at an early stage of gestation. The clinical and radiologic findings were indistinguishable from those of hydranencephaly.
