Stroke, Porenecephaly, Cerebral Palsy Study A Pilot Study of Abnormal Acquired and Genetic Coagulation Factorsin Children with porencephaly and Stroke. The National Institutes http://pedsccm.wustl.edu/RESEARCH/TRIALS/NIH-stroke.html
Extractions: The National Institutes of Health, the Kennedy Krieger Institute at John Hopkins University and the Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago are working together to explore the causes of unexplained childhood stroke, porencephaly and cerebral palsy. Porencephaly is defined as a cystic cavity (fluid-filled) within the brain and the exact prevalence of porencephaly is not known. The cause of porencephaly is due to either a developmental problem or a stroke that occurs before birth. Stroke can be defined as an acute neurological problem lasting greater than 24 hours and due to a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. The incidence of stroke in children has been reported as high as 3 per 100,000 people but this is probably underestimated. Pediatric stroke occurs more frequently in children less than 2 years of age, and the cause is frequently undetermined. Childhood strokes can seriously affect motor and intellectual development, and lead to the development of spastic cerebral palsy. Additionally, about 20% of children with cerebral palsy have brain-imaging abnormalities suggestive of childhood stroke or porencephaly. While there are many well-defined risk factors for strokes in adults, very little is known about strokes in children. Many causes have been suspected and there is mounting evidence that genetic clotting factors may be responsible for a portion of childhood strokes. Early diagnosis of the risk factors for stroke in children may lead to a better diagnosis of related genetic disorders within that child's family. This would lead to better counseling and possible prevention of strokes and cerebral palsy.

Extractions: Protocol Number: 99-N-0045 A Pilot Study of Abnormal Acquired and Genetic Coagulation Factors in Children with Porencephaly and Stroke 99-N-0045 A stroke is a sudden neurological condition caused by an abnormality in blood flow to the brain. Studies on strokes in children estimate that 2.5 out of 100,000 children will suffer a stroke. Pediatric strokes occur more frequently in children less than 2 years old. The causes of strokes in children are often undetermined. Effective treatment and prevention plans for childhood strokes can only be developed once the causes are understood. There is increasing evidence that blood-clotting abnormalities alone or in combination with environmental factors may be responsible for blood clots in arteries and veins. There are many compounds that play a role in the normal pathway of blood clotting in the body. Abnormalities in any one of these compounds can account for the development of stroke-causing blood clots. Presently, there is very little information on these abnormalities in children. This study is designed to measure the frequency of several specific blood-clotting abnormalities in children with a history of stroke and porencephaly (pockets/cavities within the brain). Data collected from this study will be compared to statistics of these conditions in the rest of the population.

Manminresearch Sex, Male. Diagnosis, porencephaly, Right. His mother took an operation ofremoving a cyst on the fallopian tube after marriage and conceived a baby. http://www.manminresearch.org/html/e1.htm
Extractions: His mother took an operation of removing a cyst on the fallopian tube after marriage and conceived a baby. She gave birth to a son. But the baby could neither stand upright nor walk until 4 years old. He showed the symptom that the left arm and the left leg were paralyzed. He had to drag himself on the floor against his own right hip. In 1997, his mother and he attended the 5th Revd. Lee Jae-Rock's Two Weeks Special Revival Meeting and received the prayer of divine healing from Rev. Lee. At that time the baby began to stand up and walk against two legs. Now he walks and runs without others' help, and lives a normal life. Next : Please click here if you get more detailed inform
Manminresearch Hospital Kangdong Sungsim Hospital Result of MRI Picture porencephaly(Right)Statement of the Specialized Doctor Conclusion porencephaly, right, http://www.manminresearch.org/html/e11.htm
Extractions: His Mother's explanation In spite of two years' marriage, I had no baby. I went to the hospital and the close examination showed that there was a cyst on my fallopian tube. I took the operation of removing it. Thereafter I was conceived and gave birth to my first baby. But my son, Yong-Sung Choo, was not like other babies. His growing went on much more slowly than that of other normal kids. He couldn't turn over himself even after 6 months(in general, new babies turn themselves over in 3 months). And neither he could walk until 4 years old. He seemed to be a hemiplegia who was paralyzed in the left arm and left leg. He couldn't walk upright at all. After all he could not but drag himself on the floor against his own right hip. Statement of the Specialized Doctor : This patient has a congenital porencephaly in the right brain. In other words, the main neural system of movement in the brain, which is called 'pyramidal track', is degenerated and as the result the left arm and the left leg are paralyzed. Because of this paralysis, he can never walk and only pushes himself and moves with his own right hip. Even if he grows up to be an adult, it is difficult to expect the recovery of the paralyzed left arm and leg.

Extractions: This condition is marked by an abnormally large, heavy, usually malfunctioning brain. The head may be enlarged at birth or become abnormally large in the early years. A rare variation on this condition, unilateral megalencephaly (also called hemimegalencephaly), involves enlargement of half of the brain. This results in a large, often asymmetrical head. Causes Megalencephaly may be caused by some disturbance in the process that controls the way nerve cells divide to form new cells (called nerve cell proliferation). Males are more likely to be afflicted than females. Symptoms Symptoms may include delayed development, convulsions, seizures, and brain cortex/spinal cord dysfunction. Unilateral megalencephaly usually results in mental retardation and severe seizures.
