What does encephalomalacia mean?


my daughter brooke who is autistic with seizure disorder broke her nose having a drop seizure. on her cat scan it said areas of encephalomalacia extensive bifrontal are seen. what does that mean?

It means "softening" or shrinkage of the brain. Usually it suggests old injury to the brain like a contusion or a stroke.

means she broke her nose so bad, that it may have squished her brain a little bit :( may have caused bruising on the frontal part on both sides or soemthing like that. Ask a doctor first, im only a paramedic :)

that means u need to dump the cat and kick it to the wild sheesh
