Encephalomalacia is basically a "softening" of the brain tissue as a result of an ischemia or infarction (stroke), degenerative changes, infection, craniocerebral trauma (by hitting your head hard), or other injury. It is not reparable but not usually fatal. Only supportive care will help. Be sure to be a "pest" and make the doctors explain this in plain old English.
