Abstract

Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) is a rare neurodevelopmental condition characterized by abnormalities in the posterior fossa of the skull. It has significant clinical implications, including systemic alterations and delayed motor and cognitive development. The current study presents the case of a 3-year-old child with DWS and no hydrocephalus. We discuss the clinical, genetic, and therapeutic aspects of DWS based on a review of the literature from the past 5 years. We aim to elucidate the phenotypic variability and determine the best diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
