title: Antenatal diagnosis and management of Dandy-Walker syndrome.
abstract: The Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) can be accurately diagnosed in utero by sonographic demonstration of characteristic morphologic changes of the fetus, which includes hydrocephalus, incomplete cerebellar vermis and a posterior fossa cyst. We present a case of Dandy-Walker syndrome diagnosed antenatally. The associated anomalies are reviewed, and the value of antenatal diagnosis is discussed.
