Congenital cerebral cysts - what does this mean
Congenital cerebral cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the brain during fetal development and can remain present at birth. they can be caused by abnormal development of the brain or skull, or by abnormal closure of the neural tube during early pregnancy.
What happens during the disease - congenital cerebral cysts
Congenital cerebral cysts are believed to occur due to abnormal development of the brain during fetal development. it is thought that these cysts are caused by a disruption in the normal process of neural tube closure, leading to the formation of a cyst within the brain. in some cases, these cysts may be caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities, which can lead to abnormal growth of the brain tissue. in other cases, the cysts may form due to abnormal pressure or fluid accumulation in the brain.
