👉 Porencephaly is a disorder characterized by an abnormal growth of the brain and spinal cord in the region between two or more cerebral hemispheres. This condition affects the development of the neural networks that control movement, speech, and other functions. Porencephaly can be caused by various factors such as birth defects, genetic disorders, and infections. It is a common cause of neurodevelopmental delays and can have significant long-term effects on a person's life.
