There is no direct treatment or cure for encephalomalacia. However, doctors may attempt to treat the underlying cause of the condition, which cannot be reversed. In some cases, surgery may be performed to remove the part of the brain affected by the softening.

I have encephalomalacia due to a brain tumor behind my left eye. I am not sure whether the encephalocmalacia or the tumor itself pressing against the eye caused it, but I was able to get a contact to almost 100% restore my vision.
Encephalomalacia is a condition that causes the brain tissues to soften or disappear after inflammation or injury. There is no specific form of treatment for encephalomalacia however, the underlying cause must be investigated and the appropriate treatment given.
Treatment typically involves surgery. The surgery is usually accomplished soon after birth, and re-positions the bulging brain back into the skull, removes any of the sac-like protrusions, and corrects the skull deformities.
