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.
Craniosynostosis-Dandy-Walker malformation-hydrocephalus syndrome (HCDPH1, also known as Sagittal craniosynostosis, Dandy-Walker malformation and hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker malformation with sagittal craniosynostosis and hydrocephalus, Braddock-Jones-Superneau syndrome, or simply Hydrocephalus, autosomal dominant) is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by sagittal craniosynostosis ...
[4] [5] 75% of children with 3C syndrome have Dandy-Walker malformation and hydrocephalus. [6] Signs and symptoms in other body systems are also associated with 3C syndrome. In the skeletal system, ribs may be absent, and hemivertebrae, syndactyly (fusion of fingers together), and clinodactyly (curvature of the fifth finger) may be present.
A wide variety of symptoms are potential clinical features of ciliopathy. The signs most exclusive to a ciliopathy, in descending order of exclusivity, are: [8]: 138 Dandy–Walker malformation (cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, usually with hydrocephalus) Agenesis of the corpus callosum; Situs inversus; Posterior encephalocele; Polycystic kidneys
Developmental disorders including neural-tube defects, arachnoid cysts, Dandy–Walker syndrome, and Arnold–Chiari malformation can also cause primary hydrocephalus. About 80–90% of fetuses or newborn infants with the neural-tube defect spina bifida —often associated with meningocele or myelomeningocele —develop hydrocephalus.
Dandy Walker malformation is a relatively common congenital brain malformation with a prevalence of 1:30,000 live births. [17] Dandy Walker malformation is characterized by enlarged posterior fossa and in which the cerebellar vermis is completely absent, or present in a rudimentary form, sometimes rotated accompanied by an elevation of the ...
