| Abstract |
|
Dandy-Walker syndrome is a developmental disorder of the brain associated with hydrocephalus,
possterior fossa cyst and maldevelopment of the cerebellar vermis and is a result of outlet obstruction
of the fourth ventricle.
We experienced a case of a 6 day old male neonate who presented macrocephaly which revealed
marked dilated fourth & lateral ventricle, large posterior fossa cyst and hypoplastic cerebellum, no
vermis on Brain CT. So, he underwent lateral ventriculo-Peritoneal shunt and then his symptoms
progressively improved.
We present a case report with a brief review of the literature. |
