Dandy–Walker malformation (DWM), also known as Dandy–Walker syndrome (DWS), is a rare congenital brain malformation in which the part joining the two hemispheres of the cerebellum (the cerebellar vermis) does not fully form, and the fourth ventricle and space behind the cerebellum (the posterior fossa) are enlarged with cerebrospinal fluid.
The condition was dubbed "Jones Syndrome" later that year but this term is not widely used as another condition is also known by this name. In 2010, another family of Moroccan-Jewish origin were reported to have the syndrome, and it was noted that the posterior fossa anomalies were most likely responsible for the development of hydrocephalus.
Of note, hydrocephalus in infants can occur as part of a syndrome, and therefore patients may present with other characteristic symptoms. [10] An example of one such syndrome is the Walker-Warburg syndrome, in which patients may also have holoprosencephaly and several other cranial defects.
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a rare birth defect in which there is a complete or partial absence of the corpus callosum.It occurs when the development of the corpus callosum, the band of white matter connecting the two hemispheres in the brain, in the embryo is disrupted.
