Abstract

【Objective】 To review the literature of Dandy-Walker syndrome(DWS) and improv the level to understand and diagnose this disease in clinic. 【Method】 In this article,a 7-month old patient with DWS was presented,and the literature and its summarized character was reviewed. 【Result】 Genetic and environmental factors might be devoted to DWS which could be associated with cerebral or systemic anomalies,imaging study such as CT or MRI was the main basis for its diagnosis. 【Conclusion】 DWS is a congenital malformation in the central nervous system,with poor prognosis,early detection and diagnosis,especially prenatal diagnosis is very important.
