A member asked:

What are the possible affects of a cystic encephalomalacia in the right frontal approx 3.9cm x 3.5 cm? what does that area control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on : Location within the frontal lobe. Since this is an old injury, there may be no effects. Since it is in the right frontal lobe, language will not be affected.if it lateral, weakness and perhaps slurring of speech if located over the motor strip.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
