Abstract
The radiographic evaluation of a spectrum of vascular cerebral damage is presented, ranging from simple porencephaly to the most severe form, classic hydranencephaly. With a combination of clinical material and computed tomography, it is possible in most cases to arrive at a specific diagnosis of hydranencephaly or severe bilateral porencephaly. Pictorially similar entities, such as massive congenital subdural hematomas or hygromas, alobar holoprosencephaly, massive hydrocephalus and massive postanoxic or infective encephalopathies, are dicussed.
