Background.

Porencephaly is an extremely rare neurological disease characterized by the presence of solitary or multiple degenerative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cavities within the brain parenchyma.

Case Report.

We describe a case involving a 23-year-old male who presented with involuntary movements of the left upper limb of 6 months’ duration.

A diagnosis of porencephaly was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Conclusion.

The rarity of occurrence and atypical presentation of such a lesion present a challenge to clinicians.

Little is known about the pathogenesis and appropriate management of porencephaly.

Further studies of the implications of porencephaly for neurodevelopment and behavior are needed.
