Is Hemiplegia due to a porencyphic cyst a type of cerebral palsy?

Question

Sorry, its spelled porencyphilic, not porencyphic.

Answer 1

generally no

The causes of cerebral palsy are largely undiscovered, but it is hypothesized that lack of oxygen to the baby's brain during pregnancy or sometimes during birth can give rise to cerebral palsy.

Porencephalic cysts are a fluid filled area of the brain. The location and size varies from patient to patient and consequently the effects on the patient vary likewise.

It can certainly give rise to disability that is similar to cerebral palsy
