Hydrocephalus and Dandy- Walker Malformation: a review

Introduction: Dandy Walker malformation (DWM) is characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle leading to an increase of the posterior fossa and superior dislocation of the lateral sinus, tentorium and torcula. Although it is the commones...
