Dandy walker malformation
Dundy-Walker malformation is an anomaly in the development of the fourth ventricle region in combination with cerebellar hypoplasia, hydrocephalus, atresia of the holes of Luschka and Magendie, observed in isolation or as part of several syndromes.
-
- Dyundy-Walker syndrome (Dyundy-Walker disease, 220200, DWS gene defect, p or polygenic). Expansion of the IV ventricle, hydrocephalus, cranial nerve palsies, nystagmus, static ataxia, pronounced relief of the transverse sinuses, thinning and protrusion of the bones of the posterior cranial fossa, partial or complete absence of the cerebellar vermis.
- Pettigrew syndrome (*304340, Xq25-Xq27, PGS gene defect, K). Signs of Dandy-Walker syndrome, as well as high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, mental retardation, seizures. Synonyms: Dandy-Walker malformation with mental retardation, basal ganglia disease with seizures.
- Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome (*220210, p). Signs of the Dundy-Walker syndrome, as well as damage to the atrioventricular septum, primary interatrial septum, macrocephaly, hypertelorism, hypoimmunoglobulinemia: aplasia of the first ribs. Synonyms: Dandy-Walker type malformation with atrioventricular septal deficiency, craniocerebellar-cardiac dysplasia.
- Dandy-Walker malformation with polydactyly (220220, p).
