Dandy - Walker Malformation

थोडं अधिक स्पष्ट करून सांगू शकाल काय?

गुगलवर ही माहिती मिळाली जी तुम्ही सांगितलेल्याशी जुळते आहे. अर्थात शास्त्रीय परिभाषेत असल्याने डोक्यावरुन गेली.

Dandy–Walker syndrome (DWS), is a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum and the fluid filled spaces around it. A key feature of this syndrome is the complete absence of the part of the brain located between the two cerebellar hemispheres (cerebellar vermis).[1] The Dandy–Walker complex is a genetically sporadic disorder that occurs one in every 30,000 live births.

The key features of this syndrome are an enlargement of the fourth ventricle; complete absence of the cerebellar vermis, the posterior midline area of cerebellar cortex responsible for coordination of the axial musculature; and cyst formation near the internal base of the skull. An increase in the size of the fluid spaces surrounding the brain as well as an increase in pressure may also be present. The syndrome can appear dramatically or develop unnoticed.
