Encephalomalacia can be caused by trauma. I had a compound depressed skull fracture when I was twelve years old as a result of being hit in the forehead with a Baseball bat. An artery going to my brain was severed. Fortunately, an immediate surgery saved my life, and I am not blind, paralyzed or in any other way significantly incapacitated. I was later cleared to play high school football and I scored in the top 2% in the U.S. on my SAT's. When I was 35 years old I had vertigo (dizziness) related to surfacing too quickly in a swimming pool while taking Scuba diving lessons and was hospitalized as a safety precaution. The hospital conducted a CAT scan and it showed non-acute encephalomalacia at the site of the skull fracture. I am now 45 years old and am not experiencing any problems related to the condition. Note: I am not an MD and I am answering this question based only on my own personal experience. Consult a licensed physician if you are experiencing a medical problem.
