A member asked:
Can you tell me is hemiplegia due to a porencyphic cyst a type of cerebral palsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The definition of CP encompases disorders of movement and posture due to an injury to the nerves originating from pregnancy to 3 years of age. Porencephalic cysts represent loss of brain substance due to a stroke during pregnancy and this fits the definition well. In many CP cases, no clear evidence of an injury is seen, here there is a well recognised cause.
