DANDY WALKER MALFORMATION: A RARE CASE REPORT

Abstract

Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) or syndrome is a posterior fossa anomaly characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the vermis and cystic enlargement of the fourth ventricle causing upward displacement of tentorium and torcula. Most patients have hydrocephalus at the time of diagnosis. DMW is the most common posterior fossa malformation, and it typically occurs sporadically. This is a case report of male fetus that was diagnosed to have Dandy Walker Malformation during the antenatal obstetric scans.
