Entry term(s) ausencia congénita de los hemisferios cerebrales
hemihidranencefalia
Scope note: Afección congénita en la que las mayores porciones de los hemisferios cerebrales y del CUERPO ESTRIADO se hallan sustituidas por LCR y tejido glial. Las meninges y el cráneo están bien formados, lo que sugiere que se ha producido una embriogénesis temprana normal del telencéfalo. La oclusión bilateral de las arterias carótida interna, en el útero, son un mecanismo potencial. Las características clínicas incluyen reflejos intactos del tronco encefálico sin pruebas de actividad cortical superior. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p307)

Scope note: A congenital condition where the greater portions of the cerebral hemispheres and CORPUS STRIATUM are replaced by CSF and glial tissue. The meninges and the skull are well formed, which is consistent with earlier normal embryogenesis of the telencephalon. Bilateral occlusions of the internal carotid arteries in utero is a potential mechanism. Clinical features include intact brainstem reflexes without evidence of higher cortical activity.
