Porencephaly – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/137059367
Porencephaly is characterised by a circumscribed intracerebral cavity of variable size that may be bordered by abnormal polymicrogyric grey matter. In extreme cases, this cavity may result in a communication between the pial surface and the ventricle; this is termed schizencephaly.
