Eleven of the first 500 epileptics examined by axial tomography presented pseudo-porencephalic dilation (cavitary atrophy) of an occipital horn, associated or not with more extensive ventricular dilation. This lesion was found in 2.2% of all the epileptics and in 5% of the epileptics under the age of 20 in this group, a high incidence when compared with that of lesions of the same type located elsewhere. Clinical investigation and E.E.G. carried out on these 11 children showed that they were suffering from either hemiphegia or hemiparesis (8 out of 11 cases) and hemianopsia (7 out of 11 cases), and had serious epilepsy with partial fits (6 cases), usual temporal lobe epilepsy (5 cases), generalized secondary epilepsy (3 cases) or epilepsy defying classification (2 cases). These cases are compared with those recently published by Remillard, Ethier and Anderman. These authors consider that these cerebral lesions are the result of peri-natal thrombosis of the posterior cerebral artery. But in our group of cases, angiographic results do not appear to justify this claim.
