Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Porencephaly is usually considered to be a prenatal brain lesion due to a circulatory failure. We report a case of bilateral porencephaly with heterotopia and absence of the septum pellucidum in a newborn. The mother had received several injections of benzol during pregnancy with an intent of inducing abortion. The possibility of a causal relationship between the administration of benzol and the occurrence of the defect is supported by the existence of previously reported cases of cerebral malformations following maternal exposure to organic solvents. |
