Dandy Walker Malformation with Parietal Encephalocele- Case Report.
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Dandy-Walker malformation is congenital malformation characterized by dysgenesis of the foramina ofMagendie & Lushka in the upper 4th ventricle, hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and agenesis of the corpus callosum. Cephaloceles are congenital malformations with herniation of intracranial structures through a defect in the cranium. It is one of the rarest neural tube defect. A 3 year old male child came with 2x2 cm encephalocele on physical examination. On magnetic resonance imaging, the posterior fossa was enlarged with cysts and vermian hypoplasia. A connection was seen between the ventricle and the cysts in the posterior fossa. These findings were significant from the aspect of Dandy-Walker malformation. Bony defect in the right parietal region with extension reaching 7 mm was seen in accordance with encephalocele. It is rare for Dandy-Walker syndrome to occur together with parietal encephalocele.
