title: [Late diagnosis of Dandy-Walker syndrome revealed by gait disorders in an elderly].
abstract: The Dandy-Walker syndrome is a rare malformation usually diagnosed during pregnancy or early in the course of life. We report a case in an elderly hospitalised for gait disorders and recurrent falls. Cerebral MRI revealed hydrocephalus and posterior fossa cyst. The patient improved after ventriculocisternostomia.
