Abstract

Cockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms. Herein, we will describe a patient diagnosed with Cockayne syndrome by genetic testing who was also determined to be having Dandy–Walker malformation in brain imaging. In this article, we aimed to highlight the general characteristic findings of Cockayne syndrome and to report the togetherness of these two rare entities.
