Dandy-Walker Syndrome:5 cases report and literature review / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

5 cases diagnosed with Dandy-Walker Syndrome from May 2006 to November 2009 were investigated and relevant literature reviewed. Dandy-Walker Syndrome was characterized by retarded motordevelopment and cerebellar signs. The latter was observed in 3 cases in our series. The disorder, mostly influencing childhood, typically causes the fourth ventricle enlarged, and the cauda cerebelli atrophic or even absent. MRI is the most optimal radiological method to diagnose it.
