What are the causes of cerebral perforating malformation?

summary

Brain penetrating malformation, also known as brain penetrating cyst, is a special type of hydrocephalus. There are two kinds of congenital and acquired malformations in clinic. Congenital cerebral perforating malformation is more common in infants, especially in premature infants, dystocia infants and overdue infants. What are the causes of cerebral perforating malformation? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What are the causes of cerebral perforating malformation?

Congenital dysplasia is the most common type of brain perforating malformation, which is mainly caused by the developmental disorder of nervous system in embryo. Acquired cerebral perforating malformation is mainly associated with neonatal intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, brain injury and cerebrovascular disease.

When the intraventricular pressure increases, or in the process of scar formation, the ventricles expand to the place of encephalomalacia. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may accumulate in the cystic swelling of brain tissue,

Or through the brain parenchyma and subarachnoid space or subdural space. Most of them were found in frontal or temporal horn of lateral ventricle, occasionally in occipital horn. The cystoid enlargement varies in shape and size, and the largest one can fill the whole half of the cranial cavity.

matters needing attention

Although brain perforating malformation is benign, it has potential harm. Once diagnosed, it should be operated as soon as possible. The patients without intracranial hypertension and moderate or severe hydrocephalus can be treated with conservative methods temporarily.
