	Hydranencephaly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The infant's head size and spontaneous reflexes such as sucking, swallowing, crying, and moving the arms and legs may all seem normal.
		Hydranencephaly is an extreme form of porencephaly, which is characterized by a cyst or cavity in the cerebral hemispheres, and may be caused by vascular insult or injuries, infections, or traumatic disorders after the 12th week of pregnancy.
		The outlook for children with hydranencephaly is poor.

	Large Animals - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Hydranencephaly develops as a result of the destruction of developing neural tissues and is sometimes accompanied by cerebellar hypoplasia and arthrogryposis.
		Hydranencephaly is seen sporadically or as an epidemic in calves, lambs, and less commonly in piglets.
		Hydranencephaly and porencephaly (cystic cavities in the cerebrum) are seen sometimes in lambs with in utero copper deficiency (swayback).

		Hydranencephaly is a rare condition in which the brain's cerebral hemispheres are absent and replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
		Hydranencephaly is considered to be an extreme form of porencephaly (a rare disorder characterized by a cyst or cavity in the cerebral hemispheres) and may be caused by vascular infections or traumatic disorders after the 12th week of pregnancy.
		The outlook for children with hydranencephaly is generally poor, and many children with this disorder die before age 1.

		Hydranencephaly is a condition where most of the brain mantle, cortical plate, and subjacent white matter have been destroyed and reabsorbed.
		In fact, hydranencephaly can be caused in experimental animals by tying off both carotid arteries in the first half of the second trimester.
		The distinction is felt to be important because patients with hydranencephaly will not improve intellectually as a result of shunting, whereas patients with severe hydrocephalus will respond well to CSF diversion and can have normal intelligence and a normal life if treated at an early age.

		The key to distinguishing hydrocephalus from hydranencephaly is the presence of a thin rim of residual cerebral cortical tissue in hydrocephalus which is not present in hydranencephaly.
		The presence of a falx and unfused thalami and the absence of fused cortical tissue exclude the diagnosis of alobar holoprosencephaly.
		At this point, hydranencephaly is difficult to differentiate from hydrocephalus because of the early age of gestation.

	HYDRANENCEPHALY: Contact a Family - for families with disabled children: information on rare syndromes and disorders
		Hydranencephaly is a condition that usually arises in mid/late pregnancy when a major reduction of blood supply to the brain results in loss of most of both cerebral hemispheres.
		The more primitive parts of the brain (brain stem, thalamus and cerebellum) are preserved so that usually the vital functions of breathing, heart function and temperature regulation are possible.
		Sometimes there may be an excessive rate of head growth and it may be appropriate to insert a shunt system for hydrocephalus to prevent the development of a very large head.

	Choroid Plexectomy Reduces Neurosurgical Intervention in Patients with Hydranencephaly - Karger Publishers
		Methods: The hospital and office charts of patients with a diagnosis of hydranencephaly were reviewed from the two institutions spanning the career of the senior author.
		Conclusion: In our experience, choroid plexectomy in patients with hydranencephaly reduces the incidence of reoperation and readmission, the number of days of hospitalization related to the surgical procedure and the total number of complications in comparison to patients undergoing CSF diversion.
		Choroid plexectomy is a viable alternative to CSF diversion in patients with hydranencephaly and a rapidly enlarging head.

	MedPix 3527: Hydranencephaly - Medical Image Database and Atlas
		Discussion: Hydranencephaly is a disorder in which much of the supratentorial brain is replaced by thin-walled sacs.
		Because the vertebrobasilar arterial supply remains intact, structures supplied by the posterior circulation (occipital lobes, inferior temporal lobes, thalami, brainstem and cerebellum) are preserved.
		Preservation of the falx cerebri and separation of the thalami, a consequence of hydranencephaly occurring after brain development, distinguish this disorder from holoprosencephaly, a spectrum of disorders resulting from lack of cleavage of the telencephalon and lack of separation of the telencephalon from the diencephalon.
