Dandy Walker Syndrome Case Study

The Dandy Walker syndrome is a condition of abnormal brain development either present in early gestational development or within the first year of life. Children suffer from congenital malformation or deformity of the brain from the buildup of fluid. High amount of cerebrospinal fluid seen in the head, cysts can be present obstructing the flow, and an incomplete vermis of the cerebellum is present. Most common part of the brain which is affected is the cerebellum and its key fluid protector.2 The fourth ventricle is also among the affected malformations, which is in control of the cerebrospinal fluid flow.3 Disruption in the ventricles leads to excessive cerebral spinal fluid causing an increase intracranial pressure leading to multiple other
