Dilatation of the ventricular system is noted.

Cortical gyriform calcifications are noted in bilateral cerebral hemispheres.

Case Discussion

The features represent a large internal porencephalic cavity in the right cerebral hemispheres

The presence of porencephaly, ventriculomegaly, and cortical calcifications suggest sequelae of intrauterine insult.
